About Me

Hey there — welcome to my little corner of finance, markets, and organised chaos

I'm Grace Chandra, currently working as a Market Analyst in Power Trading at TotalEnergies, where I spend most of my time thinking about markets, risk, macro trends, and trying to understand why prices occasionally decide to ignore logic entirely.

This site is a collection of projects, research, and ideas I've explored across quantitative finance, investing, portfolio strategy, and market analysis. I've always believed that the best way to truly understand something is to explain it simply — which is partly why I created Pocket Investo, a platform where I write and share content aimed at making finance more accessible, less intimidating, and hopefully a little less boring.

Outside of finance, I enjoy building side projects around ideas I'm genuinely passionate about — which is ultimately what motivated this page. For me, side projects are where curiosity, creativity, and finance intersect best.
