About Me

I'm a Quantitative Analyst and Researcher based in New York, NY, building systems that transform complex quantitative insights into scalable, revenue-generating decision engines.

Equally fluent in traditional financial analysis and modern ML methodologies, I leverage Python-based analytics, SQL-driven data pipelines, and deep learning techniques to design market-facing strategies under real-world constraints.

Hands-on experience across institutional trading, portfolio construction, pricing optimization, and research automation.
