    Who am I?

    A software engineer, self-taught investor, and author who began my investing journey in 1997. With no formal training and no family background in finance, I learned by doing - starting small, staying consistent, and following simple, proven strategies.

    Today, I share practical, beginner-friendly guidance to help others start investing with clarity and confidence.
