Get in TouchOver the past decade, I've built a unique career at the intersection of finance, technology, and risk management. What drives me is solving complex problems that require both strategic thinking and hands-on execution—whether that's building trading platforms, transforming data infrastructure, or advising on M&A deals.
Beyond the professional credentials, I'm passionate about continuous learning (currently exploring AI agents and blockchain applications), and I believe in giving back—which is why I founded JAVE to bring STEM education to students across Latvia. When I'm not working, you'll find me running marathons or staying active—I believe the discipline and resilience from sports translate directly to how I approach challenging projects.
This is where my passion for education and technology intersect. I launched and scaled a STEM education initiative that's delivered 1,000+ classes across 20+ schools with European Social Fund support. What I'm most proud of is designing and accrediting courses that make complex topics accessible—from Computer Modeling of Biochemical Processes to Video Game Development. It's been rewarding to see how these programs drive scientific literacy among youth and open up new career paths.
Here I worked with major European and Asian banks on optimizing their underwriting and collections processes—where I learned that the best solutions combine financial risk expertise with technical implementation. I also helped lead a core workstream in a large-scale digital transformation for a UK public sector client. The challenge wasn't just technical; it was about aligning stakeholders, implementing data governance frameworks, and modernizing BI systems. The key was translating complex technical concepts into business outcomes that everyone could understand.
This role was a perfect blend of finance and technology. I led end-to-end platform development, integrating KYC, custody, and compliance tools to enable secure, scalable client onboarding. What made it exciting was working in the digital asset space—combining risk-managed DeFi investments with options-based hedging strategies. We delivered multiple PoCs and MVPs under agile methodology, which enabled rapid market expansion across the Baltics with minimal fixed costs. The 5x ROI we achieved validated that the right strategy, combined with hands-on execution, can deliver strong results even in volatile markets.
Managing $15M AUM across fixed income and multi-asset strategies taught me the importance of operational excellence. I optimized trading, settlement, and compliance workflows across UK, Cyprus, and Latvia—each with different regulatory requirements. One of my proudest achievements was leading the development of a digital client interface that streamlined investor access and reporting. I also explored structured finance products (REPOs, derivatives), learning how to enhance yield without taking on excess risk—a lesson that's served me well in every role since.
My first role out of university was at EY, where I conducted due diligence for major banking, telecom, and energy deals. This is where I learned to translate complex financial analysis into actionable insights. One project I'm particularly proud of: I independently built a shortlist of strategic buyers for a client in the chemical industry. The pitch led to a successful acquisition within 12 months—which taught me that thorough analysis and clear communication can drive real business outcomes. I delivered deep-dive analysis on asset performance and risk factors, supporting restructuring and capital optimization decisions.
