Welcome to Valora

Valora is a long-form thinking space for people navigating money, work, and opportunity across borders.

It’s written by an immigrant founder who has spent the last decade operating at the intersection of engineering, finance, and business — across public institutions, multinational companies, and independent ventures.

Before Valora, the work included:

• licensed engineering projects in the Philippines and consulting roles in Canada
• advisory and delivery work for provincial government and global firms
• building and operating businesses across B2B, B2C, and direct-to-consumer channels
• navigating growth, downturns, and resilience through the pandemic

Valora exists because modern investing isn’t about finding tips — it’s about developing judgment.

This site focuses on how to think, not what to buy:

• across countries and currencies
• across career stages and risk profiles
• across systems that reward patience, clarity, and discipline

New essays are published periodically.
