From a yurt to Wall Street.

I started in a yurt on the Mongolian steppes, on a flickering 2008 Lenovo, obsessed with Minecraft. Modding it through YouTube tutorials taught me JavaScript, and coding became my escape and my classroom. I came back to the U.S. at eight to grow up alongside my older sister.

By middle school I had a 20-year plan: combine technology and public speaking to help countries like Mongolia face technological and governance challenges. I skipped sophomore year of high school to get moving faster, and I'm a first-generation college student.

Now I'm on a voyage to find the next big thing. I'm an alpha seeker at the intersection of markets, national intelligence, and data, hunting for the signal before everyone else sees it.
