I'm building Nova Stella Ventures, in a mission to build startups, in Austin, TX where I currently reside. 

I love connecting founders to capital and other resources. I have, occasionally, invested tiny checks into exceptional teams, products, and emerging funds. I consult with startups to build user-centric products. I also co-manage a portfolio of non-tech businesses in Sri Lanka.

After graduating with a BSC in Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio State University and an MBA from Otterbein University, I ventured into the tech startup and entrepreneurship world.

 Previously:

➢ Managing Director at Revved (a product building agency)

➢ Managed IOT hardware and software products @ Assetwatch 

➢ Founded and sold a polyethylene manufacturing co. 

➢ Founding Team @ Zell Capital (now Vessel)

➢ Ops/GA @ Otterbein STEM and Innovation Center

➢Strategy and investments @ Nadeera Transport Services + real-estate portfolio in Sri Lanka.

I also captained the Ohio State University Cricket team from 2014-2016 and coached the team 2 seasons after graduation. Highlights: Quarter-finalist @ Nationals, MVP @ Midwest Cricket Tournament, Participant @ US-Open, Brand Ambassador.

When not working, you will find me enjoying outdoor activities, exercising, traveling, or spending time with friends.

Ad astra!
