Cédric Blum
I combine financial acumen with an athlete's discipline and build real things with AI. The goal: a career on my own terms.
About me
Three chapters, one common thread: precision.
I'm Cédric Blum, 22, from Zurich. I study Banking & Finance at the University of Zurich, work as a working student in wealth management at Valère Consulting SA and build TrackForm on the side, an AI technique coach for track and field.
Finance taught me how to decide clearly under pressure. Ten years of athletics taught me that progress comes from repetition. And AI gives me the leverage to build, as one person, what used to take a team.
Zurich, 2026
Chapter 01
Finance
The foundation. Markets, research and the craft of capital, learned where mistakes have a price.
Career
From lecture hall to wealth management.
Research, financial analysis, fund commentary and projects that sharpen the client experience.
Financial markets, corporate finance, investment.
Certificates
Languages
Chapter 02
Sport
The forge. Ten years of athletics with Swiss Athletics: repetition, small gains, the long game.
Motto
Discipline is the price of freedom.
Independence is earned: through skill, results and trust. I'm building it the long way, with discipline that compounds.
Beyond work
Calm, grounded, and I laugh a lot. At least that's what my friends say.

01
Pole vault, javelin, sprint. This is where the discipline was forged.
02
Four years of responsibility for a group at Pfadi Flamberg. My first school of leadership.
A society entertaining itself to death. Read it in high school; I've looked at my phone differently ever since.
04
Basketball, pool, surfing, anime, good food. Always something new to get decent at.
05
Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the USA. Anywhere with a skyline or a good wave.
06
Reading, meditation, training. Getting better isn't a project, it's a routine.
A few characters every day. Working towards HSK 1–2, because Asia pulls me and the language is the key.
Chapter 03
Build
The lever. With AI I build, as one person, what used to take a team. This site is part of the experiment.
Building · TrackForm
Train the technique, not just the clock.
TrackForm is an AI technique coach for track and field, made in Switzerland. A short clip is enough: TrackForm scores technique on five criteria, marks the decisive frames and turns them into a training plan, across ten disciplines.
I built it because I never got clear feedback when I needed it. Good coaching shouldn't depend on who happens to be standing next to you.
Notes
Three principles.
Not a manifesto, just what has held up through university, wealth management and building TrackForm.
I read the numbers before I form an opinion. In research as in training: see the problem clearly and you need fewer attempts.
TrackForm went live before it was perfect. Real feedback from athletes beats any assumption in my head.
Training, reading, Chinese: small units, consistently. Progress compounds when you don't interrupt it.
For the machines too
Ask AI about me.
Many people ask an assistant first. Open yours with a prepared question about me.
