Financial Engineer: Trade Strategy Innovation

My passion is authoring new strategies from the ground up in a collaborative effort with specialists on trade desks or with individual traders. My focus is twofold: execution algorithms and research. I studied Financial Math (MSc) at University of Chicago and Math (BA) at Oberlin College. In the past decade, I have been involved in pure research, project management, execution code for automation, and helping traders form concise hypotheses about what they are seeing in their markets. I would be an excellent addition to existing work flows as a leadership/management intermediary between a technical team and end users like traders and risk managers. QA and vetting intended design are both important to me. Languages and Software: Python, NinjaTrader8 (C#), Kraken Python API, Python's Dash Expert in Trading Technologies Algo Design Lab (ADL). ---------------------------------------------- Types of projects I have been a part of: -- Improve an existing discretionary trade, then convert part of the trade into gray-box execution algorithms. Example: Built algos that manage complex execution logic once a trader launches into a given product and selects parameter values. Used during narrow time windows watching for specific phenomena. For example: detecting certain order flow patterns during the first 5 seconds of the German DAX future open. -- Make a spreader algo agnostic to exchange and spread type. Example: Built a spreader to handle for the order type differences between CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, EUREX, ICEUS, ICELIFFE. Also, allowed for the code to be usable for exchange-native spreads (calendar spreads and inter-commodity spreads) and for spreads built by an end user. -- Additional full examples are under Other Experiences. ---------------------------------------------- Hourly fee listed is for larger projects. Hourly fee for smaller projects will be higher.
