About

I’m currently building a team focused on developing ML-driven investment strategies, bringing together strong engineering, research depth, and thoughtful design to address meaningful challenges in quantitative finance. A core motivation for starting this journey was the opportunity to build a better culture in the quant industry—one that I believe is notably absent in many firms today. My experiences, particularly at Google and Tower Research Capital, provided a clear perspective on what defines organizational excellence, and we strive to integrate the best practices from both the tech and finance sectors into our work style. We operate with a design-first mindset, using first-principles thinking to tackle complex research and engineering problems. The goal is to build a highly collaborative environment with A+ peers, where ideas compound, ownership is high, and craftsmanship matters across innovation, research, engineering, and strategy development. Outside my primary work, I also have a small role as an angel investor, with early investments in: Prosperr Inc. — involved from initial idea discussions through to joining as a pre-seed investor SuperBottoms — involved as a Seed Investor If you’re interested in ML, quantitative research, or building interesting startups in AI, finance, or technology, I’d be happy to connect.
