About

Math-driven markets enthusiast pursuing an M.S. in Computational Finance at Carnegie Mellon. I graduated from Swarthmore with High Honors in Mathematics & Economics (GPA 3.94) and wrote trading algorithms that placed 14th out of 9,000+ teams in IMC’s 2024 Prosperity Trading Competition. I’m also a two-time ICPC Mid-Atlantic regional honoree in competitive programming. In my free time, you’ll find me fishing, hosting home poker games, or watching classic Kaiju movies.
