I was part of the team defending Visa against a damages claim raise by Sainsbury's, focusing on the setting of multilateral interchange fees.
Collaborating with a major car manufacturing company, I conducted overcharge pass-on analyses and built a damages estimation model in Stata and Excel to address a damages claim related to a car part cartel.
I offered assistance to a toy manufacturer facing an abuse of dominance foreclosure case.
DonaDogs was my first and most impactful project. Since its launch in January 2023, the website has had a transformative effect on the rescue center's operations.
Previously, only a handful of dogs had virtual sponsors, now, nearly all of the dogs are virtually adopted. This surge in sponsorship has solved the shelter's ongoing food shortage, enabling them to not only increase the number of dogs they can look after, but also significantly improve the conditions in which these dogs live.
The website content is managed by the shelter through Django's admin panel. It allows the shelter to manage the database of dogs, add pictures, descriptions and allocate them in the appropriate category: sick, adopted, new, etc.
Through the admin panel, the shelter can also add information boxes under each page and also control visuals such as applying different text/title/background color and the relative text positioning.

This ReactJS game is a twist on the classic Game of Life board game and was developed for a 10-day React hackaton.
As you move through the board you have to make strategic decisions that impact various aspects of your life—education, career, wealth, and family.
Each choice you make influences your overall success and happiness. Ignoring aspects of your life such as health can cause problems down the line or even get you killed. The game combines strategy, luck, and life simulation elements.

My formal programming education comprises of:
I am an Economist by education and have completed both a bachelors and a masters degree in economics.
During my time at Toulouse School of Economics, I gained a deep understanding of industrial organization, econometrics, and game theory. The program provided me with rigorous training in these subjects, and I had the opportunity to apply my knowledge to real-world case studies and projects.
Through my studies, I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills and gained a better understanding of how economic theories and principles can be used to analyse and understand complex market structures and behaviours. The knowledge and skills I have acquired at Toulouse School of Economics have already proved to be invaluable assets.
Skills: Industrial Economics · Python · R · STATA · Econometrics
I had the pleasure of studying at Royal Holloway, where I completed a Bachelor of Science in Economics. During my time there, I learned the fundamental principles of economics, including how to analyse and interpret data to make informed decisions. I also studied micro- and macroeconomics, finance, and game theory, among other topics.
