About

I'm finishing a BSc in Economics at the University of Southern Denmark.

The usual way to read a decision is to follow the money, and most of the time it works. But if AI is a shift on the scale of the industrial revolution — and I think it is — capital will have rivals: security, data, and political ambition.

Alongside my studies I'm building Conviction — an investment research platform that synthesizes insider transactions, institutional filings, and company fundamentals into a proprietary conviction score, so that investors can gain greater insight into company valuation.
