This site runs on a stack I’ve refined over years of building and maintaining personal projects. Some links below are affiliate links—see my affiliate disclosure for details. I only list tools I actually use.
Static Site Generator
Hugo — Fast, flexible, and doesn't require a JavaScript runtime. I've used Jekyll, Gatsby, Next.js, and Astro. Hugo builds this site in under 100ms. That matters when you're iterating on content.
Domain & DNS
Namecheap — Where I register my domains. Reasonable prices, no upsell nonsense, and their DNS management actually works.
Design & CSS
Tailwind CSS — Utility-first CSS that keeps my stylesheets maintainable. I resisted it for years. Now I can't imagine going back.
Fonts
Raleway — Headlines
Source Serif 4 — Body text
JetBrains Mono — Code blocks
Code & Development
Emacs — My editor for everything using Doom and evil-mode.
Missing something? This page reflects what I’m currently using. Tools come and go as I find better alternatives.

Work with me
I spent the first half of my career building risk models and market data infrastructure at BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and Citadel, then fourteen years shipping production systems at scale. Now I bring both sides to quantitative trading. If you're a trading firm, family office, or fund looking to tighten the connection between your research ideas and your production trading systems, whether that's building validation pipelines, formalizing signal logic, or getting microstructure analytics into a deployable state, I'd like to hear what you're working on.
