Quantitative Research

Quantitative researcher focused on systematic trading, market intelligence, and risk-aware portfolio construction

I build research-to-execution pipelines across signal generation, backtesting, risk control, and monitoring, with experience spanning crypto, equities, market microstructure, and NLP-driven trading research.

I am a Financial Mathematics graduate student at Johns Hopkins University with experience in systematic trading, quantitative research, and market microstructure. My work combines machine learning, reinforcement learning, NLP, and statistical modeling to build disciplined trading systems under real-world constraints. I have worked across crypto and equity strategies, factor research, investor-facing performance reporting, and execution-aware research pipelines.


Focus Areas

Systematic Trading Systems

Built research-to-execution workflows covering data, signal design, risk, backtesting, monitoring, and paper/live deployment in crypto trading research.

Quant Research & Modeling

Worked on reinforcement learning, market microstructure features, LASSO, LSTM, PPCA-based arbitrage, and transformer-based behavioral finance research across crypto and equities.

Teaching & Communication

Supported students in empirical finance and crypto trading labs, and translated technical strategy capabilities into investor-facing reporting and diligence-ready materials.
