Work

2024 – present

Venture R&D — a major crypto & fintech group

Innovation team, working directly with the founders

Over 30 projects across every business line of the group. Market-entry and feasibility studies, M&A research, valuation and pitch work — and the projects I care most about: analyses turned into production software. Investment-committee documents generated from financial statements. Credit scoring. Transaction reconciliation. Invoice OCR. A market-making system, live in production, built to depend on nothing outside what it can see.

Most of this work is confidential; this is its shape. The method is public — I write about it.

2021 – 2022

CiZE — boutique management consulting

Business analyst & engagement manager

Data-driven strategy work: growth analysis for a fintech, market research for a leading classifieds platform weighing a vertical build-or-buy, organizational and cultural assessments with BI dashboards behind them — and a two-week startup bootcamp for a corporate VC. Also the first appearance of the signature: automating the firm’s own offerings.

2019 – 2020

Finnova — fintech innovation center

Business developer; launched and ran the coworking space

Wrote the founding proposal at 21 and became the person behind a national brand’s presence in the city. Scouted and selected startup teams, ran 8+ events with a thousand participants, built the talent pool, and learned early-stage investment from inside a corporate VC.

2018 – 2019

SG Pazh — financial services SME

R&D engineer, then business development

IoT products out of an R&D department: GNSS tracking for people who needed protecting, environmental monitoring for labs. First contact with the loop: technology in search of a business case, and the business case found by building.
