Bridging Economics, AI, and Data Science — from theory to product.

UZH 2026 graduate in Management & Economics with a Data Science track. I build practical AI applications and automated workflows from scratch. Founder’s mindset, engineer’s obsession with automation. Educated in Switzerland, shaped by the UAE, and powered by China’s fast-paced AI insights, I look at the intersection of economics, AI, and data science through more than one lens.

“Anything you do more than twice, automate it.”
— Engineering proverb, after Martin Fowler’s Rule of Three
