Curious about everything.
Building what matters.

I am a commerce-oriented student fascinated by how businesses create value, how technology accelerates change, and how AI lets us turn bold ideas into tangible products, research, and digital experiences.

“

I am a student who is naturally curious about how the world works.

Business made me interested in how value is created, sustained, and captured. Technology showed me how quickly that value can be transformed, reimagined, or made obsolete.

AI made me realize how powerful it is to take an abstract concept and bring it to life at unprecedented speed. Rather than simply consuming information, I like taking an idea and asking:

"What can I actually make with this?"

Now I am exploring the intersection of business, technology, data, creativity, and entrepreneurship. I don't have everything figured out — and that's exactly what makes the journey so compelling.

Action > Passive Theory

The best way to understand how pricing works, how an API behaves, or how a startup differentiates is to reconstruct it with your own hands.

🔍

First Principles

Deep Curiosity Over Assumption

Dissecting every company down to its core: Customer → Problem → Value Prop → Unit Economics → Sustainable Advantage.

🚀

High Standard & Momentum

Quiet Ambition

Relentless craft in everything from how a website feels, to how data is formatted, to how questions are framed.

What I Stand For

Principles that guide my daily work and learning
01

Curiosity

Constantly wanting to understand the gears underneath. Connecting ideas across disparate industries that don't initially seem related.

02

Building

Ideas are cheap; execution creates truth. Turning thoughts into tangible tools, case studies, visual concepts, and products.

03

Continuous Improvement

I don't expect version 1.0 to be flawless. Build it, put it in the light, diagnose weaknesses, improve, and compound.

04

Ambition

Aiming high without theatrical claims. Operating with quiet discipline, strong taste, and long-term vision.

05

Multi-disciplinary Creativity

Refusing to stay in one silo. Business, code, design, basketball, psychology, and culture all feed into one another.

06

Curiosity Over Convention

Asking the awkward, direct questions that conventional frameworks overlook. Challenging standard playbooks with evidence.

Where I spend my hours.
Obsessions, fields & craft.

Visualizing the distinct areas where I read, experiment, analyze, and build.

STRATEGY & COMMERCE

Business & Entrepreneurship

Fascinated by why companies succeed or implode. I analyze business models, pricing architecture, customer acquisition loops, gross margins, and competitive moats.

Startups Pricing Power Venture Capital Unit Economics Competitive Moats Market Strategy
Focus Value Creation
LEVERAGE

Technology & Artificial Intelligence

Treating AI not merely as a conversation partner, but as an engine for creation. Exploring agentic workflows, software development, automation pipelines, and tools that multiply human capability.

Generative AI AI Workflows Web Development Automation No-Code Tools
Active daily prototyping
INTELLIGENCE

Data & Research

Turning fragmented financial and market noise into crisp signals. Researching alternative data ecosystems, data aggregation platforms, and competitive intelligence tools.

AESTHETICS

Design & Visual Identity

Caring deeply about how something looks, feels, and breathes. Experimenting with typography, visual balance, AI image generation, and memorable digital experiences.

Brand Systems Typography AI Imagery UI/UX Craft
MINDSET & SPORT
🏀

Basketball

Not a casual pastime — a foundational mindset. Basketball translates directly into building: discipline under pressure, intense consistency, on-court communication, and relentless motor.

Discipline Teamwork Competitive Motor Consistency
SHOTS MADE: 0
"Discipline beats motivation every day."
COMPOUNDING

Continuous Learning

Education doesn't end with a syllabus. Reading across finance, strategy, behavioral psychology, mathematics, and emerging technology to build high-leverage mental models.

How I Think.
A 5-step problem solving loop.

Not corporate jargon. A practical, battle-tested framework for deconstructing any ambiguous problem into tangible output.

PHASE 01 // FOUNDATION QUESTION
Click steps above to explore

Ask better, sharper questions.

Most people jump straight into solutions without understanding the actual mechanics of the problem. I start by stripping away assumptions: Why does this inefficiency exist? Who actually pays for this? What is the fundamental physics or economics of this situation?

💡 How I Apply This in Practice

When analyzing data companies like AlphaSense or YipitData, I don't ask "what does their software look like?" I ask: "What exact pain point makes a hedge fund or corporate strategist willingly write a $50,000/seat annual check?"

Things I've Explored.
Projects, teardowns & experiments.

Not dry resume bullets — real investigations, technical prototypes, and strategic frameworks.
