Carlton King Building at the intersection of finance & code.

Mathematics & Computer Science at NYU’s Courant Institute. I design and ship projects that turn markets, data, and ideas into working software.

About

Curious about how markets, code, and people come together.

I’m a sophomore at NYU’s Courant Institute studying Mathematics and Computer Science with a focus on quantitative finance. I spend my time on entrepreneurship, hackathons, and projects that sit at the intersection of finance and technology — from a competitive-programming platform to an algorithmic trading learning system.

I’m a member of HESS NYU’s Finance & Strategy team, where I help provide financial planning and analysis support for club engineering projects, and I’m particularly interested in quantitative finance, algorithmic trading, financial engineering, and blockchain/DeFi.

Always open to connecting with founders, engineers, and professionals in fintech, AI, startups, and quantitative finance — feel free to reach out.
