About

I’m an Algorithmic Trading Analyst at BestEx Research, focused on onboarding equities and futures clients by leveraging my expertise in Python, SQL, and the FIX protocol. I also automate operational workflows and certify FIX routes for brokers and venues to ensure seamless integrations and efficient trading operations. Before joining BestEx, I earned my Master’s in Financial Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, where I built a strong foundation in quantitative research, portfolio optimization, and derivatives pricing. I enjoy blending technical skills with real-world trading experience to solve complex challenges and deliver impactful solutions. Always happy to chat about quant finance, trading technology, or new ideas in the space — feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect!
