This website serves as a long‑term passion project. I’ve grown incredibly disillusioned with traditional social media, where the objective is to play power games and ‘flex contests’ with one another. Social media was supposed to be a place to share the beauty of life and keep the people who care about us in the loop, but instead it has become everything but that. I intend this website to fill that gap as a place to share both the good and the bad. All writing on this website is entirely mine and is not generated by AI. This is a core principle I will operate by, as one of my missions is to be as human as possible. I hope that comes through in my writing style and voice as you browse the site.

I have adopted these maxims as both inspiration and methodology. I am a 22-year-old Indiana University alumnus and currently work at Citadel. I leverage time-series modeling frameworks, programming languages such as Python and C++, GPU acceleration, and big-data systems to reveal patterns that remain hidden to the casual onlooker.
My engagement with finance began at age thirteen when I constructed my first investment portfolio. That early passion evolved into a professional focus on quantitative analysis, machine learning, and the extension of rating-system methodologies to portfolio management. At Citadel I design and implement scalable solutions, from batch-processing pipelines to real-time analytics, which drive data-informed decision making at scale.
Outside of work I pursue endurance sports such as swimming, cycling, and running in walkable urban landscapes that serve as living laboratories for urbanism and human behavior. I indulge my lifelong fascination with philosophy during reflective walks, curate house-music playlists that highlight the interplay of expectation and surprise, and explore the vast skies every time I am fortunate enough to be in the cockpit.
Here is something for you to listen to as a glimpse into my mind:
Most importantly, a sneak peek of some of my favorite moments on Earth so far:
The sheer joy on my face when doing stall training in a C172S for the first time - my instructor called me psycho for enjoying it, but I honestly just find falling out of the sky quite fun.
