Biography

“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
-John Stuart Mill

After studying Mechanical Engineering (BSc), and discovering my affinity for finance during my second engineering internship, I went on to become a full-time trader for 4 years: managing multiple accounts and eventually focusing on cryptocurrencies. I later went on to code and back-test trading algorithms on Trading View’s Pinescript programming language to automate trading strategies for my firm.

I have personal experience in founding startups in the engineering and clothing industries. The resilience of my work ethic and authentic obsession in my fields of expertise will result in fast turnaround times for projects without compromising quality.

To collaborate would be an honor and a privilege - a step closer to contributing my highest values into the bricks and mortar of a better world.

Previous experience, degrees, and qualifications

After scoring 91% in English, 89% in Mathematics, and 98% in Technical Drawing (amoungst other distinctions) I was awarded a scholarship from the Allan Grey Orbis Foundation which I used to pursue my degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have personal experience in founding 2 startup companies: One in a clothing line, and the other in the mechanical engineering field, including the arduous process of designing, fabricating and testing prototypes. My computer programming skills include the languages of Python, Matlab, C++, Excel VBA, Java, and Pine Script. Gaining the marketing prowess to to establish a fledgling engineering startup was something learned through the trials of the social media marketing conducted for my clothing line years prior, as well as the digital marketing certification I secured after recognizing that a good product alone isn't enough.

Whilst doing my engineering internship, my proficiency with numbers was recognized and I was reallocated to the company's marketing and sales division where I discovered my love for finance and spent 6 months creating a program in Excel VBA which was able to execute 2 days worth of work in under 10 minutes through extensive and efficient coding automation. I also learned valuable skills in familiarizing myself with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro: Learning the key to curating and presenting the object of their desire to the audience: A targeted effect which signals a campaign's success. Understanding brand identity, guerrilla marketing,and strategies such as retargeting, my startups were able to punch well above their weight and act as a source of some of my most profound areas of understanding when it comes to observing and manipulating/ influencing systems.

I also have 4 years of experience in trading and managing trading accounts on behalf of clients, and now continue to trade independently of a trading firm. My focus mainly lies in cryptocurrencies including trading on both centralised and decentralised exchanges, navigating block-explorers for various blockchains, coding APIs to automate trades on several centralised exchanges (including automated arbitrage trades), utilising crypto indexes to identify arbitrage trading opportunities, and accruing the requisite understanding of Technical Analysis to facilitate coding and back-testing of trading algorithms on Trading View’s Pinescript programming language.

My writing is comprised of topics as broad as neurodivergence, finance and technology, spirituality, fantasy, romance, fiction and poetic works, and I believe that the resilience of my work ethic and authentic obsession in my fields of expertise, will result in fast turnaround times for projects without compromising the quality of my writing.

Interests and hobbies

I enjoy reading books by authors such as George Orwell, Terry Pratchet, Frank Herbert, John Stuart Mill, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Rene Descartes, Adam Smith, Eric From, Plato and Aristotle.

I love fantasy and adventure, and have engaged as a character in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that was running for just over 3 years. I also love comics and anime, with Naruto being my favorite anime, but other recommendations being Afro Samurai, One Piece, Death Parade, Deathnote, Rising of the Shield Hero, and Bleach.

My interest in startup culture was mostly fostered during my years as a fellow under the Allan Grey Orbits Foundation program which was focused on developing young entrepreneurs. My own personal experience in having launched and run two startups (the first being in the clothing sector and the second being in the engineering field) is another reason why entrepreneurship will forever remain one of my passions.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences

“Some talk,
Some do,
Some: both;
but few!”
As a writer, I would consider myself the latter, as I engage with the customer throughout the process to guarantee satisfaction with the final outcome.

How I'd describe my approach to my work

Quality of content is paramount! The goal is always to give my best work promptly and ahead of schedule, where possible. Mine is to birth the customer's vision into existence and craft that creation to adhere precisely to the vision with creativity and authentic flair, all whilst having an impact on the reader: leaving them with the impression that they would benefit from reading through the book a second or third time. I always try to ensure that my contribution adds some ground-breaking insights into the subject. I aim to draw from personal experience to narrow the gap between the theoretical body of work that exists and what actually happens in reality.

Why should you choose me for your project

My writing style is particularly appropriate for both fiction and nonfiction works. I really do enjoy delving deep into topics of interest and intend to be very accessible to the reader and open to guidance from the customer in terms of the approach of the writing and the direction of the material. If given license, I am also capable of taking initiative and expanding on the scope. When it comes to fiction, my writing style is extremely vivid and imaginative. I love the immersive nature of descriptive writing, and the process of making imagined scenes feel believable.

The years of practical experience I have earned by trading in real markets gives me an edge in that I have countless anecdotes to draw from, and a fundamental grasp of market dynamics which allows me to freely construct effective analogies whilst dismantling widely-held misconceptions through rigorous, but conceptually accessible reasoning.

My tone can vary as I become fluid to take on the shape of the client's vision which I pour myself into. From a more formal and authoritative tone, as is the case in this profile, to a more humorous, witty, and laid back approach. Feel free to have a quick skim thorough my snippets to get a better idea of the full rage of writing styles and tones I have to offer and, as always, I hope you're having a fantastic day!:D
