Before you put real capital behind a strategy, you want someone whose job is to try to break it. I build and audit backtests that account for what quietly kills live performance: look-ahead bias, survivorship, optimistic fills, fee drag, and overfit parameters. What I do: • Backtest & Strategy Validation: Rules-based strategies across equities, options, futures, and crypto. I'll test any market except prediction markets. You get a reproducible codebase, a written assumptions document, and diagnostics that tell you whether the edge is real: walk-forward analysis, in-sample / out-of-sample results, scenario / regime stress tests and parameter-stability checks. • Backtest & Platform Audits: A second opinion before you launch your platform, scale capital into a strategy or trust a backtesting tool. I look for the bugs and biases that inflate results or mislead users, and I document each one with its measured impact on the numbers. • Hedging & Risk Overlays: Delta hedges, band/regime-based hedging policies, funding/carry modeling, and PnL decomposition. How much of your results comes from edge vs. fees vs. hedge vs. carry vs. costs? • From Validated to Live: A strategy that survives testing shouldn't stay in a notebook. I build the path to automation: point-in-time-correct datasets, broker and data-vendor API integrations, and scheduled jobs with executions tested live. The result: a validated strategy moved from research into a running, monitored system. Most engagements start with a small fixed-scope pilot: a single, defined deliverable at a fixed price, so you can judge the work before committing your capital or deciding to dive deeper. Your strategy and IP stay yours; I'm comfortable signing an NDA before you share anything. If your strategy doesn't survive honest testing, I'll show you exactly where it breaks and why. It's better to learn in testing than to discover it with live capital. My Background Since 2018 I've built and validated trading systems for small funds, prop traders, and private traders. Along the way I co-founded ComhlaTech, a predictive-analytics trading strategy company, where I advised on strategy and risk. I trade my own capital and have passed funded-trader evaluations at FTMO and Topstep.

I’m an investment writer and analyst with more than 15 years of experience across portfolio trading, fund operations, fund product management, and capital markets commentary. Before becoming a full-time writer, I built my career inside the investment industry, working across several roles that gave me a deep, practical understanding of how financial products, portfolios, and markets operate. As a Client Portfolio Trader, I executed trades across tens of thousands of discretionary accounts in a single day. As a Portfolio Operations Manager, I helped manage multi-billion-dollar tactical asset allocation calls. And as a Product Manager, I was responsible for a group of flagship multi-asset class funds with more than $4 billion in assets under management, while also leading the launch of an innovative suite of index-tracking ETFs from concept through inception. That institutional background is the foundation of my writing. I don't approach financial content as an outsider. I understand how investment products are built, how portfolios are managed, and how sophisticated financial ideas need to be communicated to different audiences. Since transitioning into financial writing, I have produced more than 10,000 social media posts and authored more than 2,500 published articles, white papers, and thought leadership pieces for financial firms, fund managers, and newspapers, including Forge Global, Changebridge Capital, Ionic Capital, Toroso Investments, EB Wealth, GraniteShares, The Dallas Express, and Infrastructure Capital.
