Finance

Building the future of finance, one tool at a time.

BBA Finance @ Hanyang University · Aspiring fintech builder from Laos.

About

A finance student with the conviction of a builder.

I grew up in Laos, watching the people closest to me face the kind of financial hardship that compounds quietly across a generation. That experience didn’t become a story I tell, it became a thesis I’m testing every day: that real financial literacy, paired with the right tools, changes outcomes.

I’m currently completing my BBA in Finance at Hanyang University in Seoul, where I’ve spent the last three years sharpening my technical chops, building DCFs, defending equity theses, running on the Bloomberg Terminal, and putting them to work. I’ve managed a personal portfolio for ~3 years (now in the five figures, with returns I’m proud of), interned at MARUHAN Japan Bank Lao as a financial analyst, and led student organizations through real growth.

Outside the classroom I’m shipping interactive finance tools, a compound interest explorer, a DCA simulator, a loan amortization calculator, built for people who don’t have time to read 300-page investing textbooks. The long-term mission is bigger: a fintech super-app for Southeast Asia. I’m studying for it now.

Vision · What I’m building toward

A fintech super appfor Southeast Asia.

Inspired by what Toss and Bank pulled off in Korea, I want to build a SaaS platform that gives everyday consumers in Southeast Asia first-class access to investing, personal finance, and wealth management.

Combining real finance expertise with AI tooling and vibe-coding, I want to make tools that are fast, beautiful, and socially useful — products that earn trust and quietly change household balance sheets across the region. It’s a long road. I’m fine with that.
