Although I don’t come from a traditional finance background, I’ve developed a strong passion for understanding how artificial intelligence is transforming the global economy. Over the past few years, I’ve become increasingly fascinated by the possibilities of AI—how it’s reshaping industries, driving innovation, and creating new investment frontiers. My portfolio is primarily centered around leading AI-related companies such as NVIDIA and others at the forefront of this technological revolution.

My goal is to continue learning, sharing insights, and building long-term wealth by investing in the technologies shaping our future.
