My story

Four windows onto the same person. The future I'm chasing, the work that grounds me, the road so far, and the ripples it left. Open any letter.

LETTER 01 · WHERE I'M HEADED

My Vision

A Switzerland where climate work runs on hope, not fear — and where anyone, from any background, gets the support to build something of their own.

I don't believe in scaring people into action. Despair freezes; hope moves. So my vision is simple: replace the fear-based climate narrative with one that makes people want to participate, and prove — student by student, family by family — that opportunity, given early enough, turns into contribution.

“Give people hope about climate change rather than despair. The time capsule offers future thinking instead of overwhelm.”

That same logic drives everything else: lead the student body so others learn to lead, back the climate so others act, and build AI tools so the boring work gets out of the way of the human work.

LETTER 02 · WHY I SHOW UP

My Mission

Turn opportunity into access. Lead the student body, back the climate, and help refugee families find their footing in a new place.

My father arrived in Switzerland as a young refugee, worked as a cook while dreaming of becoming an engineer, and made it. That story is the engine: with support and opportunity, anyone can contribute. So my mission is to be the support for the next person — whether that's a first-year student, a climate-curious teenager, or a family learning a new language.

“That's why I choose to lead, to advocate, and to build.”

In practice that means: a student council of 1,000+ run with diplomacy, a Green Team that spreads hope-based climate awareness to every Swiss gymnasium, weekly language support for refugee families through UMA Leben & Lernen, and AI systems that do the boring work so people can do the human work.

LETTER 03 · THE ROAD SO FAR

My Journey

From a kitchen-to-engineer story I grew up hearing, to leading 1,000+ students — council president, Green Team leader, AI builder, bridge between cultures.
ORIGIN

The story that started it

Father arrives in Switzerland as a young refugee, cooks by day, studies engineering by night. The lesson: support + opportunity = contribution.

EARLY YEARS

Five languages, one bridge

Growing up between Tamil, German, Swiss German, English and French — learning early that communication breaks walls.

SCHOOL

Alte Kantonsschule Aarau

Elected student council president. Coordinates 10+ council members and 40+ class delegates across extreme opinion differences.

CLIMATE

Green Team & the 222-year capsule

Leads sustainability work, contacts every gymnasium in Switzerland to spread hope-based climate awareness.

BUILDING

AI agents & ventures

Ships the Zara outreach agent, The Room Project (300+ brand deals), Socratic Tutor (Matura thesis), and websites in code.

NOW · 2026

Open to work

Aarau-based, multilingual, Google-certified. Building, leading, advocating — and ready for the next chapter.

LETTER 04 · WHAT IT LEFT BEHIND

My Impact

1,000+ students led, 300+ brand deals closed, 50+ families supported, and a nationwide network for hope-based climate education.

Numbers are a shorthand for trust. They say: this isn't a plan, it's a track record. Every figure below has a story behind it — a speech that calmed a nervous first-year, a cold email that came back as a physical sponsorship, a family that found their footing in a new country.

“Successfully managed a complex student body with extreme opinion differences through diplomatic leadership.”

The deeper impact is harder to count: minds changed about climate, refugees who feel at home, brands that took a chance on a student. Hope, multiplied.
