Quantitative Research

Quantitative researcher focused on systematic trading, market intelligence, and applied financial research

I build research-to-execution pipelines across signal generation, backtesting, risk management, and monitoring — with experience spanning crypto, U.S. equities, derivatives, and NLP-driven trading research.

MSE in Financial Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University. Background in systematic trading system design, alternative data, Monte Carlo methods, and behavioral finance. I have worked across crypto and equity strategies, factor research, structured derivatives, and research-grade execution pipelines.

End-to-end research pipelines from signal design through risk management to live monitoring, across crypto and equity markets.

Competitive Distinction

Outside of trading and research, I have competed at a high level in Teamfight Tactics, reaching Rank 1 on the North American server and previously participating in professional competition. The experience reinforced skills that also matter in markets: decision-making under uncertainty, rapid adaptation, disciplined review, and strategic resource allocation.

This competitive background is also reflected in a public Liquipedia profile.
