Profile Evaluation Request - Which schools should I target?

Question

I have just started to look at MBA programs, and am thinking of applying to universities for the 2023 class. I want a quick idea of where I stand, and which universities I should be targeting. If it's too soon to apply, what should I work on instead to apply at the right time?

Background and nationality:  
 
 Indian, American citizen. I am 26 years old. I've schooled here since I was 10.  
 Undergrad and Graduate Information:  
 
  Georgia Tech, Computer Science program. 3.83 GPA, honor's list. Graduated 2015. 
  Georgia Tech Masters in Science program, degree in Machine Learning, 3.87 GPA. Graduated 2017.   
 GMAT:  
 
  I haven't taken it yet, planning on a July/August exam date, and aiming for 720+. Right now, I am studying 5 days a week, 2 hours a day.  
 Work experience and leadership: 
 
  I have internship experience from 2 companies, one of them between my undergrad and grad school, and one during grad school. 
  After my undergrad, I had a 6-month full-time position as an engineer in San Francisco at a Startup. 
  After the company had lay-offs in which I was affected, I decided to join Grad School at Georgia Tech (2nd time) and pursue my Master's Program in Machine Learning. 
  After Grad School, I joined my current company, as an engineer in advanced research. I do not get any leadership experience from my job, but have been working on leadership projects outside of my job. I have been at the company since July 2017, and it's my primary work experience (3 years, not including internships).   
 Community and others 
 
  I have been in Toastmasters for 3 years, and completed my first year as a President of the club this month. The club has been active for 30+ years, and as president, I had to make sure that all annual club accomplishments were met to get it through the Toastmaster's President's Distinguished status. I had to manage a team of 6 people, and learnt good leadership skills through this role. I am planning on running for a 2nd term at this club, and working on these skills for the next year as well. 
  I volunteer hands-on with a local Atlanta Food Bank, serving the homeless on the weekends. I don't get a lot of leadership experience from this organization, but I have volunteered on average 20 hours per month at the group for the last 2 years. 
  I am involved with multiple groups within my own company, including a group for Diversity and Inclusion for Asian Employees, where I am the Communications Chair on the Board of this group.  
 Post MBA goals 
 
  I want to do a career change after an MBA. As an engineer, I don't get to drive projects within my company, and I haven't had that opportunity in my previous company as well. My post-graduate degree helped me do a career shift into research, and I am part of a very small team within a company of over 10,000. But even with a research-focused team, the work we do has often not progressed beyond proof-of-concepts and light-adoption. I believe that a big part of that is how my team is managed. So instead of staying on an as an engineer, I want to instead launch projects, manage them, and get them through the finish line where they can be showcased and have bigger impact. My main post-mba goals are to shift from engineering to management, and instead of waiting for a natural career progression, I want to do it sooner.  
 Anything else? 
 
  I have 2 approved Patents (through my company) from the US Patent Office. Through my company, I have also filed 9 other patents in the last 2 years which have yet to be approved, and are going through the patent process. Of these, I am the solo author on 1, the primary (first) author on 3, and co-author on others.
