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

UZH 2026 graduate in Management & Economics with a Data Science track, combining a solid sell-side and buy-side financial background with hands-on technical execution. I build practical AI applications and automated workflows from scratch to solve complex business and data challenges. Shaped by international exposure across Switzerland, the UAE, and China, I bring a global perspective and a unique cross-disciplinary lens to the intersection of finance, data science, and technology.

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