Biography
LinkedIn Profile
I am deeply fascinated by the hidden rules of competitive systems, whether decrypted through the lens of market microstructure or simulated across a strategic board game like Avalon. Graduating in the top 1% of an elite Economics Honors Program as a multi-time National Scholarship recipient, I built a solid foundation in mathematical and quantitative theory. I have aggressively applied these skills across leading buy-side firms, top asset management companies, and investment bank proprietary trading desks. Rather than just writing code, I leverage Python and advanced mathematics to engineer predictive alpha factors, discover volatility, and design robust derivatives hedging strategies. I thrive in high-stakes, fast-paced market environments and am fully committed to becoming a quantitative trader or researcher. Outside of finance, I sharpen my strategic decision-making through board games and cinema. Now joining the MSCF program, I am eager to channel this momentum into my graduate studies and actively connect with industry professionals to prepare for future quantitative roles. I would be glad to share how I can bring an immediate, positive impact to your investment and trading operations.
