Columbia Software Solutions

Co-founder & technical lead

I co-founded Columbia Software Solutions, a student-run organization that builds free, custom software for nonprofits and small businesses in New York City.

Our student teams work directly with clients to understand their needs, then design and build websites, apps, databases, automation, and AI tools. Organizations get software tailored to their work, while students gain experience delivering projects for real users with guidance from industry advisors.

We have 10 projects for fall 2026. OpenAI Academy provides API credits to support our teams’ work.

My role

I help set technical direction, standardize the stack, review code, and contribute production code across projects.

Each project is built by its student team. As co-founder and technical lead, I support those teams while contributing directly to the projects described on this site.
