Vita
Alongside a full teaching workload, I have been an active participant in global equity and cryptocurrency markets since 2017 — running a concentrated, self-directed book and spending much of my off-time on structured research across monetary policy, market microstructure and on-chain data. Away from the screen I read widely in fiction and non-fiction, listen to music across every decade, train several times a week, row, tend a small vegetable garden, and am enjoying a reinvigorated love for the outdoors.
