Finance, Research and Ideas

Thomas Amara

I am a Business Management student at the University of Southampton, graduating in 2027, currently a Summer Associate at the Financial Conduct Authority and the founder of Basis — a mobile app built to make learning finance intuitive, engaging and accessible. I work at the intersection of finance and innovation, and this site brings together the projects I have built, the questions I explore through research, and the ideas that shape the way I think about markets.

My long-term goal is to build a career in finance across investment banking, private equity, or hedge funds. I aim to specialize at the intersection of finance and innovation, while maintaining a research-first approach to decision-making.
