What I'm looking for

I am looking for an internship in a fast-paced team where I can apply quantitative research, programming, and algorithmic trading skills while contributing to impactful, data-driven projects and continuing to grow technically and academically.

I am a data science and business administration student specializing in quantitative finance, algorithmic trading, and risk analytics. I have built machine learning models, developed live trading algorithms that produced measurable profits, and authored academic research presented at conferences.

I bring practical internship experience in risk management and academic research work in market microstructure and topological data analysis, plus strong programming skills in Python, big data processing, and cloud tools. I seek an internship where I can apply my analytical rigor, programming expertise, and research-driven approach to contribute to a fast-paced team.
