What I'm looking for
I am a senior quantitative trader with a proven track record building profitable trading operations and algorithmic strategies from the ground up.

My background blends deep quantitative skills with business consulting and finance leadership, having supported deal advisory engagements at KPMG and managed financial operations in academic and banking settings. I have led small cross-functional teams, mentored junior quants and developers, and delivered measurable improvements in execution, liquidity provision and operational efficiency.
I am results-driven, data-focused, and fluent in Georgian, English, and Russian. I seek opportunities to drive innovation in financial markets by building robust, automated trading systems and scalable market-making infrastructure.
