What I'm looking for

I want to work on quantitative strategy and algorithmic trading, building and validating ML/LLM-driven features on financial time series. I thrive in teams using rigorous backtesting, stress testing, and clear reporting, with room to grow into technical leadership.

I’m a quantitative researcher and data scientist building and validating strategies for algorithmic trading. In my current role, I work on quantitative strategy research, feature validation, analysis of financial time series, and strategy backtesting.

Previously at Sber, I audited operations in financial markets—collecting and processing data, applying stochastic models, preparing reports, and running sensitivity analysis and stress testing. I’ve also led and shaped projects like an ML/NLP-based cryptocurrency portfolio trading system as a Curator, and managed product and partnerships as CEO of LLC “PAZL”. Alongside my work, my dissertation focuses on detecting security defects in large language models using explainable AI and knowledge transfer techniques, which reinforces how I approach trustworthy, interpretable systems.
