What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote or hybrid quant/trading role where I can apply my skills in algorithmic strategy development, machine learning, and crypto markets. I’m eager to contribute to a data-driven team focused on innovation, and to grow into a senior quant or portfolio management role over time.

Computer Engineer (AI) and crypto trader with 4+ years of hands-on experience developing and backtesting algorithmic trading strategies. Skilled in Python, LSTM models, and technical analysis tools, I specialize in low-frequency momentum and mean-reversion systems. I’ve built full-stack trading frameworks with predictive modeling, OBV-based signals, and integrated risk management. Incoming MS in Financial Engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology (Fall 2025), eager to contribute to high-performance trading teams. Passionate about data-driven strategy design, DeFi markets, and quantitative research.
