Enthusiastic graduate with a strong foundation in computer science.
What I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic graduate with a solid foundation in computer science, mathematics, and statistics, complemented by proficiency in C++. My experience includes building pricing models and financial models, where I apply quantitative techniques to real-world scenarios. I have collaborated in Agile teams at World Quant IQC to develop scalable, real-world quantitative models.
One of my notable projects includes the development of a high-performance C++ matching engine capable of handling over 1.4 million orders per second. This project involved optimizing data structures and implementing price-time priority logic, resulting in significant latency reductions. Additionally, I engineered a scalable strategy engine for my MSc dissertation, which improved compute time by 70% while ensuring robust error handling.
My work experience as a Brain Consultant at World Quant involved developing and backtesting predictive alpha models, where I achieved top 20% performance among over 5,000 global teams. I thrive in competitive environments and excel in analytical and communication skills, making me a valuable asset to any team.
