Mentoring
Starting in April 2026, I am implementing a mentorship program at the Romanian-American University of Bucharest for students passionate about finance and (in the future) investments, and/or looking for a career in the financial markets.
Education
Within the “Active Investing” community, I have delivered educational training programs for over 400 participants, focused on investments and the use of derivative instruments, with an emphasis on risk management, portfolio protection (hedging), and understanding the mechanisms that influence investment performance.
Community
In 2021, I founded the “Active Investing” community with the purpose of fostering collaboration and debate on topics related to investing and trading in financial markets. It is a private and selective community, bringing together approximately 150 members and hosting regular live sessions within the “LIVE Room.”

Research, analysis, and modeling of portfolios using derivative instruments:
-
Volatility regime analysis

Gamma positioning and market convexity
