Writing & Projects

Writing

I write Parth's Datastack — data-driven economics for a general audience. A few I'm proud of:

• The Great Talent Misallocation — why so much elite talent flows into finance, and when that becomes a problem for everyone else.
• Creative Destruction — unpacking the 2025 economics Nobel: how fading competition and rising markups quietly throttle growth.

I've been writing about markets since university — finance and crypto columns for The Saint, St Andrews' student paper, as deputy editor (2021). One I've rescued from the archive: Boom or Bust?! The Bitcoin Bubble.

Projects

• Modelling Political Polarization — an interactive version of my St Andrews dissertation: a 5,000-agent simulation where you move sliders for exposure, tolerance, inequality, and elite influence and watch a population polarize. Built in Python and Streamlit.

AI safety

While at St Andrews I co-founded and ran STAISH, the university's first AI safety fellowship — a multi-week reading group taking students through machine-learning fundamentals, AGI risk, alignment, and governance. The Saint covered the launch, and the reading syllabus is online.

Beyond work

• Letterboxd — what I'm watching.
• Running for Concern Worldwide — my half-marathon fundraiser.
