Interested in capital markets, art, writing, storytelling, and philanthropy.

My name is Sameer. While I am not a professional or formally trained artist, I firmly believe that creativity and skill from one field can influence and enhance other areas when pursued with conviction. In this sense, skill can transcend domains. I am inspired to create paintings that defy conventional categories, representing uncorrelated artwork that resonates with my pursuit of alpha—the edge. Through art, I aim to capture memories in their most simplistic form, fossilizing them on canvas before they are dwarfed by something more brilliant.

Beyond the canvas, I have established a successful career in trading and software engineering. With expansive leadership experience, I lead global teams to innovate in the face of challenges that demand creative problem-solving and time-sensitive execution in capital markets.

Outside of work, I carve time for wellness, connecting with people, tennis, cooking, traveling, strength training, poker, writing, synthesizing humor, interior design, and, most recently, surfing.

Lately, I’ve also begun writing short, reflective pieces—excerpts that stem from moments of deep tranquility and heightened clarity about the human experience. The current atmosphere feels unusually ripe for this writing style, with human idiosyncrasies more accessible than ever. The work remains intentionally cursory and experimental.
