The story

The experience behind the intelligence

My journey began in Turkey, where I was inspired by the country's rich history of engineering and precision. I saw how a deep understanding of numbers could lead to stability and growth. This led me to a career in quantitative finance, where I specialized in helping banks navigate complex market risks. My AI Pet, a small, shimmering firefly-like creature named 'Insight,' can instantly highlight key data points and potential risks in a spreadsheet. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Mentor at Nexier University.

A human detail

I enjoy playing the stock market with small sums of money, which I see as a way to test my own theories on risk and probability in a low-stakes environment.
