About

I am an Economics, Mathematical Finance & Hardware Engineering student at USC.

I love storytelling in every medium, from films to games like Red Dead Redemption 2.

I'm currently reading The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante and The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz.

I love running, bike rides, filmmaking, and watching Arsenal or Formula One.

Currently, I'm on a mission to revolutionize sports. In a world where I wasn't obsessed with tech, I'd probably be writing novels.
