Session: AI in Investing

With over 20 years of experience in software development and cloud architecture, I work at the intersection of technology, AI, and investing. I’ve spent my career helping enterprises design scalable systems, modernize legacy platforms, and apply data-driven thinking to complex problems.

In parallel with my work in technology, I have a long-standing interest in investing and financial literacy. I approach investing the same way I approach engineering—using structured analysis, disciplined processes, and increasingly, AI-powered tools to improve understanding and decision-making.

In this talk, I’ll share how individual investors can use AI responsibly to assist with stock research, pattern recognition, and learning—while staying grounded in fundamentals, risk management, and long-term thinking.
