Welcome,

I write about the Structural and Quantitative Forces that drive Asset Prices across Macro Regimes—expectations, risk premia, positioning, and liquidity.

My work focuses on how information, capital flows, and constraints translate into price action across global financial markets. Rather than reacting to headlines, I study the mechanisms beneath them: how markets reprice risk and why price moves look the way they do.

My research blends quantitative analysis with real-world market behavior. The goal is simple but demanding: to uncover durable market principles and turn them into clear, actionable insight - whether you’re allocating capital, managing risk, or designing strategies.

I help professionals in asset management and fintech make better decisions using quantitative methods, data-driven intuition, and a grounded understanding of market structure. This is not theory for theory’s sake. It’s applied thinking for people who operate in real markets with real constraints.
