About me
Structured thinking, evidence and execution.
My academic and professional work sits at the intersection of data, finance, strategy and responsible technology. I like problems where the evidence is messy, the stakeholders disagree, and the final recommendation still has to be measurable and defensible.
I identify most with the ENTJ profile: strategic, organised, decisive and comfortable taking ownership. I translate that into practical strengths rather than a label—setting direction early, structuring ambiguous problems, communicating under pressure and turning analysis into an executable plan.

How I work
Strategic, structured and comfortable leading from ambiguity.
I enjoy setting a clear hypothesis, breaking the problem into evidence streams, testing assumptions and communicating a concise recommendation. Debate, research and cross-disciplinary projects have strengthened my ability to challenge ideas without losing sight of execution.

Education
Three academic pillars.
Coursework is grouped by the capabilities it developed rather than by semester, reflecting the interdisciplinary way I approach problems.
