Finance & Business Strategy Experience

Fieldhouse Capital Management

May 2026 – Present · AI Computer Systems Analyst

I help the firm adopt generative AI safely and usefully: diligence for sensitive data, process automation with Copilot, Salesforce-connected assistants, and custom agents that turn CRM history into actionable prep. On contract with Western Shield Insurance, an extraction system I built increased retained commission by 25% by reducing reliance on an MGA.

  • Completed AI due diligence to greenlight Microsoft Copilot for internal use with sensitive financial data.
  • Analyzed business processes, then proposed and shipped automations that leverage Copilot for recurring knowledge work.
  • Integrated generative AI into Salesforce so teammates can query records and draft internal documents in context.
  • Built custom agents that assemble pre-meeting notes from prior emails, transcripts, and CRM history.
  • Delivered an AI-powered extraction workflow for Western Shield Insurance that raised retained commission by 25%.

University Stock Pitch Competition

February 2026 · 2nd Place Finalist · Team awarded $500

Our team placed second with a pitch on Gilat Satellite Networks (GILT). We combined fundamental and technical analysis with Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs) for non-linear correlation analysis, called a February 10 drawdown, and correctly identified the turn before a roughly 30% rebound. We then defended the forecast live to industry judges.

  • Built and presented a clear investment thesis grounded in both fundamentals and market structure.
  • Used KAN networks to surface non-linear correlations in market data that linear methods would miss.
  • Forecasted the February 10 price drop and the subsequent recovery path.
  • Analyzed market data into predictive framing and answered detailed questions from industry professionals.
