💫 About Me

I work on algorithmic trading and quantitative research, with a focus on how decisions propagate through markets.

🔭 Current Focus

  • Algorithmic trading strategies grounded in market microstructure, regime shifts, and adaptive position sizing (Kelly-inspired, not naïve Kelly)
  • Research-grade experiments at the intersection of quant finance, ML, and decision-making under uncertainty
  • End-to-end systems: data → signal → backtest → risk → execution (no toy notebooks, no curve-fitting theater)

👯 Collaboration Interests

  • Quant research: alpha signals, execution models, market impact, volatility & regime modeling
  • ML-for-finance papers with publishable ambition (NeurIPS / ICML / AISTATS level)
  • Serious open-source work in numerical methods, optimization, or trading infrastructure

If it can’t be backtested, falsified, or measured, it’s not research.

🤝 Looking For

  • Strong feedback on research rigor (assumptions → experiments → failure analysis)
  • Review from people who’ve shipped real-money strategies or publishable work
  • Brutal critiques of math, code, and reasoning — politeness adds no value here

🌱 Currently Learning

  • Probability, stochastic processes, and optimization for quant roles
  • Deep learning & reinforcement learning for sequential decision problems
  • How elite researchers structure problems before touching code

💬 Ask Me About

  • Quant trading competitions & live strategy design
  • Turning non-finance intuition into tradable signals
  • Building ML systems fast without sacrificing correctness

⚡ Fun Fact

I don’t come from a traditional quant background — and I treat that as an edge, not an excuse.
