What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to apply my quantitative skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated and ambitious BTech student in Chemical Engineering at IIT Patna, with a strong passion for quantitative research and algorithmic trading. My journey in this field has been marked by significant achievements, including securing the 1st global rank in the Quant League Q4 organized by Quantconnect, where I competed against top universities worldwide. Additionally, I ranked 48th in the Super Alpha Competition conducted by WorldQuant, showcasing my analytical skills and competitive spirit.

As a Quantitative Research Consultant at WorldQuant, I developed high-performance algorithmic trading models for cryptocurrencies, achieving remarkable returns and optimizing strategy performance through advanced mathematical techniques. My leadership experience as the Overall Coordinator of the Trading and Investment Club at IIT Patna has honed my ability to manage teams and projects effectively. I possess over two years of experience in derivative and forex trading, complemented by a solid foundation in data analysis and machine learning.
