About Me

I got into macro and systematic trading during undergrad and then went all-in on it. I earned an MSc in Financial Economics from Oxford and now work as a quant trader and desk lead at startup prop trading shop in Lugano, Switzerland, where I build and run arbitrage and market-making strategies on niche crypto and crypto-related venues.

Currently I’m responsible for the full data → strategy → production pipeline. I’m looking for roles that are primarily strategy/research-driven, while still staying close to execution and production.

I use Python for both quantitative research and production code, and have working knowledge of SQL plus the practical DevOps layer, including AWS, Docker, and Linux. I am currently learning Rust as my first lower level language, and studying AI/ML tools, particularly their use in constructing alternative datasets and predictive features for systematic strategies.

Outside work, I play poker and shoot landscape photography (mostly 35mm film). I also hike and trek when I can, and read (a lot of statistics textbooks, of course, plus some post-modern philosophy and 20th-century history, especially WWI/WWII). Recently I got into competitive forecasting as a hobby (any forecasting tips highly appreciated btw).
