About

I'm a Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) student at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business and also hold a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Delhi. I have 2.5 years of experience as a quant researcher/trader at Estee where I worked on execution algorithms, robo-advisory algorithms, statistical arbitrage strategies, technical indicators strategies, and volatility-based options strategies. Working on such a diverse set of quant finance projects helped me improve my analytical, programming, and critical thinking skills. I am actively seeking a role in Quantitative Research/Trading. If you would like to discuss potential opportunities, please feel free to connect. Also, you can reach out to me at kishan_patel@berkeley.edu
