What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply quantitative research, market microstructure, and Python modelling to trading, DeFi, or market-risk problems, while growing alongside teams that value rigorous testing and practical market insight.

I'm completing an MSc in Emerging Digital Technologies at UCL, where I focus on decentralised finance, algorithmic trading, and tokenised assets.

For my NTT DATA dissertation, I designed a Python market-microstructure simulation for automated market-maker liquidity under Reg NMS limits. My dynamic fee proposal reduced delta-hedged liquidity-provider losses across all high-volatility test cells and improved profit and Expected Shortfall across 18 asset-regime cells.

I've also built and backtested crypto trading strategies, modelled S&P 500 sector correlations with DCC-GARCH, and placed 15th of 440 in a live trading competition. Earlier, I worked in Web3 gaming and NFT communities, bringing practical familiarity with crypto products and markets.
