@akankshsinha
Data-driven analyst specializing in trading strategies and healthcare market research.
What I'm looking for
I am a data-driven quantitative analyst with hands-on experience building trading strategies, pricing engines, and research dashboards. I blend strong programming skills with statistical methods to deliver actionable, high-impact insights.
At ZoomRx, I owned end-to-end market research projects, maintained >97% data accuracy, automated analyses that cut manual work by 88%, and produced 15+ trend signals per quarter to inform strategy. I have applied R and Tableau to identify drivers and barriers and to deliver statistically significant recommendations.
In prop trading at Futures First, I traded interest-rate derivatives, managed multiple contracts with <10% drawdown, and improved trade efficiency by applying econometric models and real-time dashboards. My quantitative projects include a backtested seasonality-based silver futures strategy and a real-time Black–Scholes option-pricing engine.
I am passionate about combining machine learning, robust data engineering, and domain expertise to build reliable models and products that improve decision-making and trading performance.
