Summary

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Applied Economics, Banking, and Financial Markets at the University of Bath, where I’m deepening my understanding of economic theory, financial systems, and market dynamics.

I have a strong passion for product development and thrive on transforming ideas into meaningful, user-centric solutions. I’m also deeply committed to data-driven decision making—believing that the best products are built at the intersection of insightful analysis and thoughtful design. Whether it's using data to shape strategy, enhance user experience, or drive growth, I’m always looking for ways to turn information into action.
