Bridging Finance, Data, and AI — from theory to product.

UZH 2026 graduate in Management & Economics with a Data Science track. I build AI-native products from 0 to 1. 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 finance, data, and AI through more than one lens.

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