Turning Ideas into Impact

I enjoy turning ideas into structured, practical experiences — whether that's crafting a new buyer pitch, developing a gamified learning platform, or designing a budgeting tool that actually helps people.

My work sits at the intersection of marketing, finance, and technology. I believe in building things that are simple, practical, and make a real difference in people's lives.

Currently, I'm balancing a role at BD Connexion Ltd., where I coordinate marketing and buyer relations in the apparel industry, while simultaneously building Finico — a personal finance platform designed to empower young earners.

What Drives Me

Values & Philosophy

01

Impact Over Complexity

I believe the best solutions are simple, practical, and actually used by people. Complexity for its own sake doesn't serve anyone — clarity and usability do.

02

Data-Informed Decisions

Every strategy should be grounded in evidence. Whether it's market research, user feedback, or financial projections, I rely on data to guide smart decisions.

03

Continuous Learning

The intersection of business, finance, and technology is constantly evolving. I'm committed to staying curious, learning from every project, and adapting to new challenges.

04

Sustainable Growth

Balancing academics, work, and personal projects requires intentional planning. I prioritize sustainable growth over burnout, building systems that last.

Beyond Work

Chess has been more than a hobby — it's been a training ground for strategic thinking, risk assessment, and mental resilience. With a FIDE rating of 1700+ and an online rapid rating above 2000, I've spent years competing in national and international tournaments.

Beyond playing, I've also organized FIDE-rated events at the school level, learning the logistical and administrative side of running tournaments.

Pattern Recognition

Seeing connections and identifying opportunities quickly

Risk Management

Weighing calculated risks versus playing it safe

Long-Term Planning

Thinking multiple moves ahead while staying flexible

Resilience

Bouncing back from setbacks and staying focused
