The short version

I am an R&D engineer at Valeo, where for the past five years I have specialised in battery thermal characterisation for electric vehicles — studying how heat propagates across a battery pack, how thermal runaway risk is assessed, and how cooling architecture is designed and tested. I hold academic master's degrees from CentraleSupélec and École Polytechnique.

I am now transitioning into finance, with a focus on mid-market M&A advisory and deep-tech / EV venture capital. I am a CFA Level 2 candidate, and I am building the applied toolkit that role demands: financial modeling, valuation, and Python for financial analysis.

Why finance, after engineering

For five years I watched investment and strategic decisions being made around technologies I understood at an engineering level better than the analysts evaluating them. I wanted to be on the side making those decisions — bringing technical judgement into capital allocation. This is not a move away from engineering. It is adding a financial lens to deep technical expertise that most investors simply do not have.

The edge I bring

Engineering risk translates directly into financial risk. Thermal runaway becomes warranty provisions and recall exposure. Cooling architecture becomes capex and manufacturing complexity. Cell-manufacturing yield becomes the difference between a viable gigafactory and a bankruptcy. I can read both sides of that equation — and that is the perspective I am building a finance career around.

Beyond work

I am a road cyclist and an audiophile, with a long-standing interest in Korean cinema and in the study of classical systems of thought. I approach commitments thoroughly rather than halfway — whether that is a CFA curriculum, an investment thesis, or a long ride.
