Hi! My name is Aaria, and it took me a long time to figure out what actually interests me because honestly, I get curious about everything. That curiosity has taken me all over the place, bouncing between AI and data work through my internships, most recently at March Capital, where I rebuilt their CRM and built out AI automations. Somewhere along the way I noticed a pattern: I'm always looking for what could be improved, fixed, or made faster.
On campus, I started Girls Into Venture Capital's chapter at CMC from the ground up, built through real relationships rather than a plan on paper. That same curious bug led me to build Peináo, a restaurant discovery tool for people with food allergies, so they're never stuck picking from the same three "safe" spots again. It reads menus item by item, flags peanut and gluten risk with an AI classifier, and blends that with real Google reviews into one simple score per restaurant. What started as a scrappy prototype for Claremont Village grew into a full sourcing and scoring pipeline covering every restaurant on St. Marks Place in NYC.
When I'm not deep in a dataset, you'll probably find me hunting down the next spot to add to my restaurant list. Curious what else I've been building? Take a look around, it's all right here on this site.
