01 / About

Where indirect tax meets automation.

I work at the intersection of U.S. indirect tax and technology. At Deloitte I managed Voluntary Disclosure Agreements, nexus studies, reverse audits and tax-operations transformations for Fortune 500 technology companies. Today at Windy Street I own the full VDA lifecycle - from nexus exposure calculation and state selection through filing, negotiation and closure - alongside multi-state compliance, GL reconciliations and state tax credit projects.

Between 2024 and 2026 I took a planned break to prepare for the UPSC Civil Services Examination, then redirected that research discipline into finance and tax technology: no-code and AI-assisted workflow automation (n8n, Claude Code), SQL and analytics. I now apply that toolkit to everyday tax delivery - and I'm building JobWeMet, an AI tool that helps job seekers tailor their CVs honestly.
