Available for the following:

* Full-Stack Web Development

* Business Process Automation

* Quantitative Risk Management (Hedge Funds/HFT/Systematic Trading)

  - extensive experience developing regulatory/operational/trading risk management tools in quantitative finance.

I enjoy solving business problems with software and diving into various domains and building solutions that have a material impact on the bottom line. One of my best performing projects (continues to save millions annually) required 70% digging into a problem domain and 30% coding. Another recent project I’m proud of is an ML-powered pricing engine that’s given a $250+M funded competitor’s service in the space a run for it’s money. I’ve produced results working both as a member of a technical team and independently (working directly with key stakeholders/executives).
