Why MSSM?

I chose MSSM because its curriculum bridges technical depth with business acumen, which is exactly the combination I need to move into product management. Courses covering data-driven decision-making, product strategy, and cross-functional collaboration align directly with my goal of solving problems across developer tools, payment systems, and consumer technology. Being based in Silicon Valley was also a huge draw, as it puts me right at the center of the tech ecosystem I want to build my career in, with direct access to companies, mentors, and opportunities that few other locations can offer.

Education

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

I'm seeking Product Manager roles where I can solve problems across developer tools, payment systems, and consumer technology. I'm energized by tackling different types of challenges like improving developer experience and API usability, streamlining payment infrastructure and transaction flows, or building consumer-facing products that are intuitive and delightful. I enjoy diving deep into varied problem spaces, working closely with engineering and design, and driving outcomes that create real value for users and businesses across these domains.
