    Turned $820 into $442,618 in just 15 months by trading stocks*. As a former finance professor with a Ph.D. in Finance, I provide trading and asset management service. I also provide lessons for effective and profitable swing trading strategies using options . With my blend of academic rigor, a proven track record of successful trading, and dedication to client success, I look forward to contribute to your investment goals and foster a long-term professional relationship. I help you grow your portfolio with lowered risk and develop skills with shortened learning curves whether you are an institution or individual investor, a new or experienced trader, a teenager or septuagenarian. I co-developed and sold a cutting-edge AI trading bot to one of the world's largest investment funds. Created multiple award-winning software solutions, one of which was prominently featured in a college computer textbook when I was still a student. Published research findings in the area of investments in top-tier academic journals. Won second place in a 5000-player poker tournament within a mere month of learning Texas Hold'em poker. Being awarded a U.S. patent for a math-learning invention. Volunteer in classroom teaching in inner city elementary and middle schools as well as one-on-one math tutoring. I tutored one former student who raised their SAT Math score from 660 in October to 780 in December in just ten 50-minute sessions. * My results are not typical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In comparison, if one would invest the same amount of $820 in the S&P 500 with dividends reinvested and inflation adjusted for 70 years ending December 2022, one would have $90,243. Not bad for people with the patience and the money to put aside for a long term. However, my tradings in 15 months generated a total return of 53,878%, almost five times of that if invested in the S&P 500 for 70 years and my communities do not have to wait for 70 years to receive tax revenue from my trading.

    Hi, it's great to e-meet you here in the little corner of the internet. I'm a product designer with +5 years of experience designing for start-ups. I started out as a business analyst in finance, then cut my teeth grinding out at the start-up scene in New York. I was a bootstrapped founder before I raised from prominent angels and pre-seed funds. Today, I'm the Head of Design at another pre-seed start-up, currently raising seed. I designed decks that raised more than $1M. I also designed mock-ups for my start-up and at my current job. As an ex-founder working at a start-up, I know how to design from ideation to execution with little to no branding support. 'Design is intelligence made visible' is one of my favorite quote. I learned to design because I believe it has the power to change us, and ultimately, the world. If you're looking for help with design, let me help turn your ideas and visions into the concrete shape, form, and colors so that your venture will shine through from the crowd.
