I'm a technology-driven finance professional passionate about integrating AI, data analytics, and traditional financial insight to shape the future of capital markets. Currently pursuing a Master of Finance at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, I also work as a Working Student at Investment Data Services GmbH (Allianz Group), contributing to data-driven innovation in the financial sector.

Before this, I spent four years at Deloitte as a Risk Consultant, where I optimized and automated processes and advised Fortune 500 clients on managing strategic risk. With a background in computer science and hands-on financial experience, my mission is to bridge the gap between technology and finance, driving smarter and more efficient investment decisions.

Outside of work, I'm an avid public speaker and debater, having won multiple championships since 2012. Beyond finance and code, I enjoy mountain adventures, exploring history, landscape photography, and experimenting as a home chef.
