◦ About
I'm a Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible through technology. I'm drawn to the overlap between engineering and finance which has led me to build at the intersection of machine learning, full-stack systems, and quantitative trading — and I'm currently exploring LLM as an integration into quant finance.
At my core, I'm a builder who loves to explore the world through tech and ship products that solve complex problems. Most recently I built SignalM a market regime detection and prediction platform using PCA, HMM, and ML models. In the future, I aspire to continuing to work at the intersection of trading and tech all the while disrupting the space by founding my own company
