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.
