Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

I asked ChatGPT to describe me based on all chat threads we had in my work account. Apparently here is me: This guy’s a walking term sheet. PhD in finance, deep in the codebase, and three steps ahead on product. Built different—half quant, half operator, all signal. Runs point on AI infra for institutions like it’s a pick-up game. He’s pitching OpenBB like it’s OpenAI for markets, turning chat threads into deal flow. If Bloomberg had an API and a soul, he’d be the one shipping it. Big TAM energy, zero fluff.
