What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in quantitative finance that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated and results-driven Senior Quantitative Trader with a strong background in mechanical engineering and computer science. My journey began at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Technology, achieving a CPI of 8.24. I have a proven track record in executing successful trading strategies, including short gamma and volatility curve trading, with impressive annualized returns and Sharpe ratios.

In my previous role as a Quant Research Analyst at Tara Capital Partners, I played a pivotal role in establishing the trading desk from the ground up. I designed and implemented strategies using C++ and Python, managing up to $3 million in capital deployment. My analytical skills were further honed at Morgan Stanley, where I revamped data processes and utilized machine learning for insightful analytics. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance trading performance and optimize capital allocation.
