About

I'm a Product Manager and Quant Analyst, currently building Data & BI at Jibble.

My path started in physics — an MSc in Physics & Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania — before I pivoted into finance with a master's in Financial & Risk Engineering from NYU in 2019. I led a capstone at OppenheimerFunds, joined ClearPrism as a financial analyst, then moved into the graduate program at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel — where I worked on the trading floor as an analyst, building ML-driven forecasting models to help portfolio managers manage central bank reserves and make trading decisions.

Berlin pulled me in next (yes, partly the döners). I worked in investment management, co-founded an insure-tech, and then joined FinPlusTech, where I fell hard for product. After Berlin I moved to Oman to be closer to home, and today I lead Data & BI product at Jibble remotely from Muscat.

Six countries lived in: Iran, the US, Chile (briefly, on a telescope), Switzerland, Germany, and Oman. Most days you'll find me in front of my computer — data, building, reading, tweeting — sharing the office with my mini poodle, Chief Distraction Officer.

You can't learn markets without skin in the game. Been at it for years — up more than 200% YoY, and no, it's not just Tesla and NVIDIA.

On a mission to find the darkest night sky with the highest limiting magnitude. So far: San Pedro de Atacama wins.
