when i'm not doomscrolling on tiktok, you can find me staying active, trying to perfect my cooking skills, diving deep into personal finance rabbit holes, or exploring the world of crypto—something i’ve been into since i was 14. life's too short for boring stuff, so i'm always looking for new things to do and interesting people to connect with!
• learning how to cook more than just instant ramen
• exploring the science behind metabolic health
• meal prepping on a college budget
• finding the perfect protein-to-cost ratio
• analyzing market trends
• trading digital assets
• using on-chain data to build thesises
• contextualizing market moves using macro trends
• listening to random indie artists nobody's ever heard of
• building random side projects like this when i should be studying
• curating the perfect spotify playlist
• taking photos of nature that catches my eye
• staying active without breaking the bank
• connecting with like-minded people

Track 10
In My Arms
documenting my path from broke college student to (hopefully) financially free by 30
automate savings before spending on anything else
compound interest scales with time, even just $10
don't overcomplicate what works
i don't believe in following a strict budget because they feel too restrictive. instead, i focus on:
safety first
i make sure i have enough for rent, food, and emergencies before anything else
conscious spending
i splurge on things i value (food, experiences) and cut out things i don't (netflix, subscriptions)
automate everything
my savings are automated so i never have to think about them - what's left is mine to spend
liquidity-first
prioritize flexibility with enough in cash-like assets for daily needs and unexpected expenses. keep systems simple — low overhead, easy access, no chasing extra yield where it’s not worth the complexity.
crypto exposure
actively trading on decentralized platforms, with positions sized relative to conviction and risk. thesis-driven approach focused on narrative momentum, market structure, and macro context. treat crypto as both a high-risk/reward opportunity and an ongoing learning lab.
overall mindset
balance optionality, resilience, and curiosity. Build a portfolio that reflects both present needs and long-term exploration.
