Building things that matter
Finance graduate. Built things, lost money, learned more. Still here, still building.
About
Parma, rugby, sneakers, proxies, bankruptcy, Switzerland. A non-linear path, built piece by piece, tested in the field.
Finance graduate with a thing for systems: economic, technical, human. I build side projects because understanding something on paper is never the same as building it yourself.
I'm driven by the conviction that the best things always come after the hardest ones.
