Thanks for stopping by.
This is my playground for research, data, and ideas I wanted to test. I have a master's degree in Applied Economics, and the projects here range from forecasting and financial analysis to market research and applied AI. Some are serious studies, some are experiments, and all of them taught me something.

How I work
I start with the question.
Most of my projects start with a question I don't know how to answer yet. I first check what the data can actually support, then build the simplest model or tool that helps. I try to show my assumptions and limitations clearly, because that is usually where the useful part of the work is.
Special thanks to Fan Lee for helping me.
