My introduction to generative AI began at Eduply, where I worked as a prompt-engineering intern, designing tools for educators, including chatbots that were later adopted by Atlanta Public Schools and Georgia Tech. That experience showed me how much value exists in bridging the gap between raw AI capabilities and practical business tools.
The following summer at SK Commercial Realty, I sat in development meetings for major assets (including The Henry, a $500M mixed-use project in Atlanta) and I got a clear look at how CRE deals actually get done. During that same internship, the President of SK Investment Group asked me to find a faster way to generate stacking plans. He meant a better Excel template; I interpreted it as a Python script and a web application. That project became the seed for N&S Digital LLC, the software firm I co-founded to ship tools like StackingPlanner and scholairly.
Today, as an Investment Intern at Goldenrod Companies, I build custom AI workflows and automation pipelines for internal use. It's the kind of work I want to keep doing: finding the manual bottleneck, building the automated system, and giving people their time back.
