Hi, I’m Eli
A Purdue Business Analytics & Information Management student bridging business needs and technical solutions. I love learning new things and solving real-world problems with creative, metrics-driven approaches.
About Me
Driven by a simple mission: bridge the gap between business needs and technical solutions.
During college, I was doing everything I could to land a job after graduation, but I struggled to find classes or clubs that truly engaged me—so I decided to build my own path. I started launching personal projects, like ApeX, because I believe the best way to learn is by doing. Even when I didn’t know how to do something, I trusted that I could figure it out. That mindset led to plenty of failed attempts, but each one taught me something new and pushed me toward more ambitious, impactful work.
Education
Purdue University - BS in Business Analytics & Information Management (Expected May 2026). Driven by a mission to bridge business needs and technical solutions.
Location
Indianapolis, IN. Open to new opportunities.
Interests & Drive
Constantly iterating on new startup ideas and side projects (e-books, storefronts, coding challenges), AND CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR THEM(feel free to reach out)!! Skilled in SQL, Python, data visualization, and AI tooling, I'm always learning and believe “failure” is just a stepping stone to refinement. Ready to connect ambitious students, university partners, and industry recruiters through the power of real, self-driven work.
