🌟 Featured on the CMU Tartan Entrepreneur’s Pledge page, read more on why I pledged to give back to my alma mater – Carnegie Mellon University. See the full directory here.
🙏 This journey would not have been possible without the wonderful people who believe in me Jesse Thill for making this pledge happen. Adam Paulisick and Mahadev Satyanarayanan, who advise Pervaziv AI and continue to inspire a new cohort of students every year. Their energy and enthusiasm amaze me! Folks at the Carnegie Mellon University’s Information Networking Institute who helped in various aspects during my masters and beyond – Dena Haritos Tsamitis, Daniel Carr, Sari Smith, Christa Jones, Leigh (Mason) Oliveras. Meredith Meyer Grelli, Dave Mawhinney and the team from Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship for having us present Pervaziv AI to the #CMU patrons. Michael Lisanti from Carnegie Mellon University CyLab, Melanie Simko from Project Olympus – our ecosystem partners for giving us #Cybersecurity and #startup exposure.
🎓 My masters degree and research thesis at #CMU deeply shaped my academic and professional career. Having taken courses from various departments – Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science, #ECE, #INI, #Heinz, #SEI, #EPP, I had an extensive exposure to the best of CMU. I couldn’t have asked for a better well-rounded experience from the top-rated academic program in the #USA 🇺🇸.
💖 Philanthropy runs in my family. My father used to fund #merit based scholarships to students, participate in #social #service. He always upheld the spirit of giving. My spouse and I volunteer when we can for various causes such as food packing, teaching and mentoring. We contribute generously to our kid’s PTC at school. Giving doesn’t have to be just monetary, but can take many forms 💫.
🌱 Let us continue to build this wonderful #community further and inspire the next generation of #entrepreneurs. I’m excited about the possibilities in the near future.
