About

I'm currently a Financial Math graduate student at North Carolina State University and my foundations lie in computer engineering, data science, stochastic calculus and option pricing. I completed my CFA Level 1 in April 2024 and professionally I've worked in applying quantitative techniques to financial problems. Working as a Quant Researcher at NX Block Trades, I designed a framework for Indian index options, developing intraday strategies on volatility spreads. As an Analyst at BlackRock India, I worked within the Aladdin Wealth Tech Client team supporting portfolio risk by streamlining end to end client executions and managing portfolio analytics for Wealth clients. I also interned as a Market Analyst at Futures First, where I leveraged my understanding of commodity markets to analyze supply and demand fundamentals and trade Wheat CBOE futures.
