About

As a dedicated Derivatives Trader at Futures First and a proactive learner in the field of quantitative finance, I merge my expertise in financial markets with advanced analytical techniques to drive trading success. My role involves executing sophisticated trading strategies for a diverse range of instruments, including Australian interest rates, the Nikkei 225 index, and copper, with a focus on statistical arbitrage, mean reversion, and spread trading. Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Financial Engineering at WorldQuant University, I am deepening my knowledge in quantitative analysis, financial modeling, and risk management. My academic journey complements my hands-on experience, allowing me to apply theoretical concepts to real-world trading scenarios effectively. I hold certifications from the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) in Equity Derivatives and Research Analysis, which attest to my proficiency in financial instruments and market research. My background in Business Analytics and Optimization, coupled with my role as an Associate Programmer at GLG, has honed my skills in programming, data analysis, and problem-solving. Eager to collaborate with forward-thinking teams, I am looking for roles that challenge me to apply my quantitative skills and contribute to strategic decision-making in finance. Let’s connect to discuss how my background and expertise align with your needs and explore opportunities in quantitative trading and financial engineering.

  • As a Derivative Trader at Futures First, I specialized in trading Australian interest rates, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index, and copper. My trading strategies were rooted in statistical arbitrage, mean reversion, and inter-exchange trading, strongly emphasizing spread and pair trading. I leveraged powerful trading software technologies and technical analysis to identify and capitalize on market inefficiencies, consistently delivering strong performance in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
