More about me

Where I come from, what I'm working on now, and what I do outside the résumé.

Story

In my own words

The short version of how I got here.

I spent my school years at Pinewood International School in Thessaloniki, Greece, where I earned the IB Diploma with High Honors and a merit scholarship of $10,000 per year, served as Student Council President and edited the school newspaper, The Pineword. During the pandemic I also took Harvard's free online economics courses.

Markets came early. At ten I was reselling candy at a markup and selling lemonade by the road. I've now been trading for more than five years, across crypto, futures and equities. In 2021 I founded Crypto Daily, a Discord trading-education community that grew to more than 2,700 members, and I've kept starting things since: web and affiliate projects, a streetwear label, and MosVer Capital, which I co-founded.

Today my focus is systematic. I build Python research pipelines for Nasdaq futures, test machine-learning models out of sample, and use AI agents to speed up the research. With MosVer Capital, the idea is the same: trading as a systematic, rules-based process rather than a series of discretionary calls.

I'm studying for EDHEC's Global BBA across Nice, Los Angeles and Singapore, and I'm at UCLA for fall 2026. In August 2026 I interned at Light Ray Ventures, a New York venture firm investing in robotics, clean tech and advanced materials. Next, I'm looking for internships in finance and quantitative roles.
