My career began in a small investment house where I trained as an analyst, gaining fundamental insights into the financial markets. I then transitioned into programming, working as a software engineer at Check Point, where I sharpened my technical skills. This combination of analytical and technical experience eventually led me to a hedge fund, where I traded U.S. equities for seven years, specializing in long-short strategies focused on macroeconomic trends and tech stocks. My primary area of expertise lies in growth stocks within the technology sector. I seek out companies with the potential for above-market returns over the medium term, prioritizing innovation, scalability, and market disruptiveness. Additionally, I employ a long-short strategy on indices, leveraging macroeconomic analysis to navigate market cycles. I am motivated to write on Seeking Alpha to share insights and analyses that offer investors a balanced view of market opportunities and risks. My goal is to build a community of informed readers who can benefit from my approach to growth stocks and macroeconomic trends.
