Beyond research

I love traveling and exploring the world. Meeting people from different backgrounds and hearing their stories gives me fresh perspectives, inspires new ideas, and encourages me to reflect on my own life.

At a time when AI agents and vibe coding are rapidly changing how ideas become reality, I hope to use these tools thoughtfully to build projects and pursue research that are both interesting and meaningful.

My ideal life is to keep coding, exploring quantitative strategies, and following questions that genuinely excite me—all while experiencing different coastlines and new corners of the world.
