About

I care about making financial data research faster, cleaner, and easier to act on. I don’t see finance and tech as separate lanes, I work where they intersect. I like making messy processes cleaner, insights clearer, and decisions faster. I hold the CFA Level 3 and FRM Part 2 credentials, and am a CGMA Affiliate. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me solving puzzles or listening to instrumental music.
