About
Recreationally
I'm a mathematician, pianist, programmer, backpacker, weightlifter, amateur martial artist, wannabe philosopher...
Professionally
I studied mathematics in undergrad with a focus on real analysis.
I received my masters in finance after choosing to leave a finance PhD program in pursuit of challenges outside academia.
For a couple years I made markets in ETFs for a prop trading firm. The experience trading was a blast and gave me the pragmatic exposure to markets which I was looking for when I left grad school.
In 2024 I left trading to pursue my own, personal projects. I am currently iterating through projects that excite me - looking for the one to make my next pursuit.
Along the way I've written lots of code.
- Python - web scrapping, natural language processing, web apps (Django, Panel), trading engine management, data analysis, generative art (Pillow).
- SQL - PostrgreSQL, MS-SQL, SQLite
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- VBA
