About
Math and economics,
applied to markets.
I'm an MS Finance candidate in the Applied Security Analysis Program at the Wisconsin School of Business, graduating May 2027, and Risk Manager and Analyst at Badger Fund. My research spans both sides of the capital structure — a CoreWeave term loan for the Oaktree Case Competition, HP's 2032 notes, and equity initiations on NuScale Power and Ulta Beauty.
I grew up in Nepal, where I started investing in IPOs in 2020 and came to UW–Madison on a King-Morgridge full-ride scholarship. Passed CFA Level I.
Fall 2026
What I'm working on now
Co-managing risk for a $5.6M long/short SMID-cap fund against a 6-point compliance framework built on Barra's 13 risk indices.
Equity initiation in progress — full report to follow on the Research page.

Outside the markets
Trekking the Himalayas
I grew up in Nepal and still come back to the mountains whenever I can — most recently to the Manaslu region, and before that through Langtang and Helambu. All photos are my own.
