I build businesses.I analyse companies.I trade systematically.

I work with agencies and growing businesses on strategy, operations, and financial decisions. Alongside that, I research and trade systematic strategies.

What I work on

Three different fields. One way of thinking: understand the system, question the assumptions, and make better decisions.

Build a business that works.

At Aktyvus Group, I help founder-led agencies become more structured businesses. We look at what they sell, how they win work, how they deliver, and whether the numbers make sense.

Direction & positioning

A clear offer, a reason to choose it, and growth priorities the team can actually act on.

Delivery & operations

Clear responsibilities, repeatable delivery, and a management rhythm that keeps the team moving without constant firefighting.

Commercial decisions

Pricing, capacity, margins, and cash flow considered together, so growth makes the business stronger rather than just busier.

Talk business

Look beyond the headline numbers.

I use financial analysis to understand how a company makes money, what drives its value, and where the risks sit. The point is not a more impressive spreadsheet. It is a clearer decision.

Company economics

Revenue quality, costs, cash conversion, and unit economics help explain what is really happening underneath growth.

Valuation & scenarios

I examine assumptions and different scenarios rather than treating a single valuation as certainty.

Capital allocation

Deciding where money, time, and attention should go means weighing opportunities against constraints and downside.

Discuss an opportunity

A hypothesis. A test. A risk limit.

My market work is systematic: turn an idea into something testable, challenge it with data, and define the risk before putting it to work. Python and research tools support that process; finance is the focus.

Research & data

Start with a market question, check the data, and turn the idea into explicit rules rather than a story that only sounds convincing.

Testing & execution

Look for data leakage and overfitting, test on unseen data, and account for transaction costs and practical execution.

Risk & discipline

Position sizing, exposure limits, drawdown controls, and ongoing review matter as much as the entry signal.

A little about me

I started in security engineering. That taught me to question assumptions, understand how systems fail, and pay attention to downside.

My work has since moved through technology, business building, and finance. The thread is the same: understand how things work, then make them work better.

Where the systems mindset began.

Security engineering taught me to look beyond what appears to work. I learned to test assumptions, trace failure, and build controls that hold up under pressure. That habit still shapes my business and market decisions.

From solving problems to building businesses.

Working across technology and operations drew me into business building. As Managing Partner of Aktyvus Group, I work with agencies on their direction, commercial decisions, and the systems behind delivery. I like connecting strategy with the work needed to make it happen.

The same curiosity, a different set of questions.

Company analysis and systematic trading bring together the parts of work I enjoy most: research, evidence, and decisions under uncertainty. I am also studying financial engineering through WorldQuant University's MScFE, alongside my business and market work.
