Trading Systems Engineer | Quant Developer

Most trading strategies fail in the gap between backtest and live trading - killed by overfitting, lookahead bias, survivorship bias, unrealistic fill assumptions, or fragile infrastructure. I make sure yours doesn't. I'm a quant developer and mathematician. I've been building trading systems professionally since 2019. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 𝟭.
