About

I'm an MS candidate in Quantitative and Computational Finance at Georgia Tech, blending a strong foundation in computer science with a passion for systematic markets.

My focus lies at the intersection of quantitative finance and backend systems. I specialize in engineering high-performance APIs and building scalable data pipelines, with a strong interest in algorithmic trading strategies.

I'm actively seeking opportunities in quantitative development and backend software engineering where I can build fast, resilient infrastructure and tackle challenging, data-intensive problems.
