Switzerland
Gas trader, based in Switzerland. Four years across European energy markets — starting in operations and logistics, moving through short-term trading and market analysis, now trading prompt and curve gas at Enet Energy in Lugano. I studied management engineering at Politecnico di Milano, then did a postgrad in quantitative finance. My thesis was on forecasting short-term Italian gas prices — comparing deep learning models against ARIMA. It's a niche topic, but it's the kind of thing I find genuinely interesting: real data, no clean answer, and the model is never quite as good as you want it to be. What originally pulled me into trading was the combination of maths, strategy and reading the market. Still is, honestly. I also spend a lot of time with AI — not as a career reinvention, just out of genuine curiosity. I read, I experiment, I build things. It's starting to overlap more with the day job, which suits me fine. Happy to connect if you're in energy, trading, or quantitative finance.
