It started in a small flat in East London — one screen, a charting platform, and the conviction that the default path wasn't going to get me where I wanted to go. The first years were equal parts losing money and learning what nobody teaches you in school. From there the work moved with me — Hong Kong for the trading desks and the rhythm of Asian markets, Bangkok for the cost of focus, Bali for the long view. A decade of real positions across markets, real estate allocations, and offshore structure built deliberately, not improvised. Today the priority is different. The capital takes care of itself. The interesting question is what to do with what was learned getting here — which frameworks actually compound, and which ones the industry sells but never uses on its own money.
