About

British born, Singaporean Malaysian.

Have lived and worked in London (to 2024), New York (2024–2026), and San Francisco (2026–present).

Digital native, hustler and risk taker.

Timeline

First jobs

Transitioned from accounting into investment banking (M&A).

Full-time crypto

Changed my life trading .jpegs, arbitraging inefficiencies, and capturing the hottest narratives. Grew a personal account from 5 to 7 figures.

Back to school

Completed an MBA at Columbia Business School. (Thank you, crypto.)

Back to corporate

Refining skills in the Tech M&A team at Evercore.

End goal

Founder and/or career finance guy.

Potential side careers:
  • Supercar salesman
  • Fitness trainer to working professionals
  • Sartorial menswear advisor

Interests

Years of counting macros and progressive overload — the most reliable teacher of discipline I've found.

Nobody in my family was into cars; I found this one entirely on my own. The garage so far:

Porsche 911 Carrera S (997.2)

3.8L naturally aspirated flat-six · ~385 hp · the last of the truly analogue-feeling 911s, and just the right size

2021–2022

McLaren 570S Coupé

3.8L twin-turbo V8 · 562 hp · 0–60 in ~3.1s · dihedral doors · low production, British-built in Woking · a shrewd buy that held its value

2022–2024

Millions in volume transacted across the cycles. The short version:

I love the process of sourcing. Plenty of people steer clear of treating watches as investments; I've enjoyed finding pieces that win me on design first, then hold or grow their value.
