From First Principles
to Investment Thesis.

I approach deals the way engineers approach systems: by breaking complex situations into measurable components, stress-testing assumptions, and building conviction through rigorous analysis.

My background in Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Finance gives me an edge in financial modeling—I don't just use formulas, I understand why they work, and when they break.
