## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to contribute to investment research, valuation, financial modeling, and portfolio analysis work where I can evaluate businesses, develop investment views, and continue building depth in capital markets.
```

## About

```text
I co-founded Aroka Wealth, where I build research-driven small-cap equity portfolios using fundamental analysis, valuation, financial modeling, and portfolio construction.

I conduct bottom-up company and sector research from annual reports, earnings calls, investor presentations, and financial statements, then monitor earnings, valuations, and business developments to support investment recommendations.

I've also evaluated B2B technology investments at 888vc, analyzed SaaS and biometric business performance at eSSL, and supported structured debt, credit-risk, valuation, and due-diligence work at Rank Financials.
