Structured intuition for noisy data
Professional summary

Analytical, curious, and motivated to bridge financial intuition with rigorous quantitative tools.

QF
Professional focus
Quantitative finance

Finance graduate in progress with a background in quantitative analysis and statistical modeling. Build financial models in Excel, R, and Python, while also designing low-level systems in C++ and Linux for secure infrastructure.

Interested in risk, uncertainty, and prediction across poker, sports betting, and financial markets. I combine mathematical reasoning with systems design, which shapes projects like VeloNet and the Axion Communication Protocol.

Impact vs. curiosity

Quick visual of how I balance skills I already deploy with areas I am actively deepening.

Impact delivered Curiosity focus
Systems projects

Low-level C++ and protocol work that connects secure systems, networking, and quantitative thinking.

Network
Tor control & onion services
C++20 · Linux · Tor ControlPort · Raw sockets
C++ system that configures and manages Tor at a low level — generating torrc files, creating secure directories, authenticating through the ControlPort, and using raw sockets to create and control onion services programmatically. Handles process spawning and cookie-based authentication without external libraries.
Transport
VeloNet transport layer
C++17 · AES-GCM · Binary protocol
Compact encrypted transport layer for images using a custom C++ binary protocol, AES-GCM encryption, and an in-memory lookup structure for near-instant delivery. I gravitate toward low-level C++ projects like this because they let me design fast, precise systems that support more complex models on top.
Compute
NDMengine - N-dimensional Matrix engine
C++17 · Header-only · Numerical computing · Tensor engine
Header-only C++17 N-dimensional matrix engine built around a single NDMatrix<T> container. Supports safe indexing, reshaping, slicing, broadcasting, and elementwise tensor operations with row-major storage and no external dependencies.
Infra
Lightweight HTTP engine
C++17 · HTTP · Binary payloads
Custom HTTP request engine in C++ that handles header parsing, token checks, and binary payloads without any frameworks. Gave me hands-on experience with low-level networking, file lookup, and building secure request pipelines from scratch.
Research
Axion communication protocol
Protocol design · Formal logic
Ongoing research project applying mathematical reasoning and formal logic to design a secure communication system from first principles. The goal is to evolve this into a low-level C++ protocol built directly on the ideas developed in the paper.
Quant notebooks & papers

Selected deep dives that document how I analyze fraud signals and apply ML ideas to finance problems.

Σ
Fraud signals
Markopolos exhibit notebook
Jupyter · Fraud analysis · Forensic finance
Structured notes on Exhibit 0293-2 and Harry Markopolos' SEC report on Bernie Madoff. I break down the statistical red flags, recreate the core checks, and document where risk models should have flared.
ML
Model ops
Machine learning submission
Research paper · Model evaluation
Grade-A paper from BI’s Machine Learning for Business course, produced in R. I document how ML workflows stress-test pricing models and portfolio heuristics, outlining feature engineering, validation routines, and the controls used to ensure signals stay disciplined.
Λ
Tensor infra
NDMengine paper
C++ · tensor library · Technical write-up
Documentation outlining how the NDMengine tensor library is structured: memory layout decisions, broadcasting rules, safe indexing, and the design philosophy behind building numerical infrastructure in modern C++.
Options lab
High-dimensional option pricing
Kaggle notebook · PIDEs · Karhunen–Loève reduction
Exploratory notebook tackling basket options and swaptions when risk factors explode in dimension. I use Karhunen–Loève projections to compress Lévy-driven PIDEs, add sparse-grid DG discretization, and benchmark the computational gains versus accuracy on multi-asset payoffs.
Interests

Where curiosity compounds into skill: technology, markets, and strategic games.

QL
Pricing models
QuantLib sandboxing

New to QuantLib but actively formalizing derivative payoffs and term-structure models inside the framework. Each experiment is scoped so it could eventually back a first C++ service that survives production constraints.

LX
Systems
Rack server homelab

Strong practical experience with Linux across multiple distributions plus hands-on work with rack-mounted servers like the Dell R610 homelab that I treat as a private production environment.

EV
Probability
Edge hunting games

Games of chance—poker, exchanges, sportsbooks—treated as quantitative laboratories. I enjoy the mathematics of Bayesian updates, Kelly-style utilities, and stochastic control problems that govern optimal plays under asymmetric information.

ML
Modeling
Predictive engines

Developing predictive engines rooted in stochastic processes inspired by gambling theory. Iteration happens against live datasets to see which signal pipelines keep their edge once uncertainty and noise are introduced.

Let’s talk about data, odds, and strategy.

Building clarity around messy problems is my favorite collaboration mode. I thrive where feedback loops are tight and stakes are real.

Open to internships, graduate roles, and project-based work in finance, risk, or data-driven decision making.

If you have a problem that lives at the intersection of numbers and uncertainty. I am interested in iterating until the edge appears.
