Fintech builder and manager with expertise in trading technology.
I am a seasoned fintech builder and manager with extensive experience in financial markets, particularly in trading and technology. Over the past four years, I have honed my skills in assessing product-market fit for over 50 DeFi projects while managing a tech and quant team to develop on-chain trading solutions. My hands-on approach has allowed me to effectively navigate the complexities of financial regulations and analytics, ensuring that our strategies align with market demands.
Previously, I served as a derivatives trader at Bank of America, where I established a novel trading desk that centralized $20 billion in funding risk. My role involved defining pricing processes and improving systems to enhance operational efficiency. I have a strong background in quantitative research, having contributed to stochastic models for exotic derivatives risk at Merrill Lynch. My educational foundation in applied mathematics and finance from prestigious institutions has equipped me with the analytical skills necessary to excel in this dynamic industry.
