About

Hi! I'm a current financial engineering student at UC Berkeley and previously completed my integrated MSc in mathematics and computing from IIT Kharagpur. With my full-time roles and internships in Quantitative research and data science, I've honed the skills of data analytics, statistics, and programming in kdb+ and python. Additionally, my education has given me a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and finance. I'm passionate about working on quant-based research projects having worked on Reinforcement and Deep Learning applications for portfolio optimization and Bayesian filtering methods for option pricing. In my spare time, I enjoy activities like swimming, trekking, skiing, and playing soccer.
