Curiosity as a compass

I'm a student at the intersection of ideas โ€” where finance meets technology, where research meets entrepreneurship, and where analytical rigor meets creative ambition.

My interests span quantitative finance, economic systems, artificial intelligence, and venture creation. I believe the most interesting problems live at disciplinary crossroads, and I'm building the skills to tackle them.

I care deeply about sustainability and long-term thinking โ€” whether in investment frameworks, research questions, or the ventures I hope to build.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Finance & Investing

From market microstructure to long-term value creation โ€” how capital flows shape the world and how rigorous analysis identifies opportunity.

Economics

The study of incentives, trade-offs, and human behavior under constraint. A lens to understand markets, policy, and society.

๐Ÿง 

Artificial Intelligence

AI is rewriting what's possible. I'm interested in its economic implications, research acceleration potential, and role in future ventures.

๐Ÿ’ป

Computer Science

Code is leverage. Understanding computation lets me build, test, and scale ideas that would otherwise remain theoretical.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Entrepreneurship

The art of turning a problem into a product. From ideation and validation to building and scaling โ€” I'm drawn to the full stack.

๐ŸŒ

Featured Projects

Work I've built

01 / Sustainability & Technology
Transparent Solar Panel Greenhouse
SustainabilityClean EnergyInnovation
+

A concept integrating transparent photovoltaic panels into greenhouse infrastructure, enabling simultaneous crop growth and clean energy generation. This project explores the intersection of sustainable agriculture and clean energy โ€” demonstrating that food security and decarbonization can be complementary goals. The design addresses light transmission for plant growth while harvesting solar energy through selective wavelength absorption.

02 / Research & Economics
Attention Economy Research Proposal (SARC)
EconomicsResearchBehavioral Science
+

A structured research proposal investigating how digital platforms commoditize human attention, the economic incentives that drive engagement optimization, and downstream effects on behavior and societal information structures. Developed through SARC, this work frames the attention economy as an economic externality problem โ€” where the true social cost of attention capture is not priced into platform business models โ€” and proposes frameworks for empirical investigation.

03 / Entrepreneurship
Scrap to Wrap (StartupYou)
EntrepreneurshipCircular EconomyStartup
+

A student venture developed through StartupYou, addressing single-use wrapping waste by creating a platform for upcycled, sustainable gift-wrapping materials. The concept validates the circular economy model at the consumer level โ€” demonstrating sustainability as competitive advantage. The project involved market validation, customer discovery, and early-stage business model design.
