    • Biography

    I hold a degree in Engineering and a Msc in Artificial Intelligence.

     My career began in finance, where I assumed various roles before co-founding the London Trading Institute. 

    I have also served as a DeFi advisor for Tendermint, the American company that developed Cosmos, one of the largest blockchains globally.

     My expertise in quantitative finance and blockchain led me to contribute as a reviewer to the Law Commission's consultation on digital asset regulation and collaborate with the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee (DCMS). I am deeply passionate about finance, artificial intelligence, and mathematics. 

    Currently, I am the Head of R&D at a Swiss asset management firm and teach two quantitative finance-oriented modules at Middlesex University.
