I'm a Top Rated quantitative developer on Upwork, currently completing my MS in Data Science at Harvard, with production experience building and shipping algorithmic trading systems across futures, options, and equities. My work spans the full pipeline: from signal research and rigorous backtesting through execution architecture and live broker deployment.
Over the years I've collaborated with professional traders, systematic fund managers, and independent CTAs on strategy research, execution system builds, and quantitative infrastructure โ working with live accounts and real capital, not toy portfolios.
- Research Philosophy
Most algorithmic trading research fails before it reaches live markets. The reasons are almost always the same: data snooping bias, fragile parameterization, fill simulation that doesn't reflect actual execution, and strategy logic never stress-tested against regime change.
My research process is designed to make it hard to fool yourself. That means strict chronological train/test splits with no parameter bleedthrough, walk-forward optimization over anchored and rolling windows, block bootstrap for inference on autocorrelated returns, and parameter sweep frameworks built to expose fragility rather than maximize backtest metrics. A strategy that only works on one parameterization isn't a strategy, it's a coincidence. I care about robustness across parameter space, regime stability, and understanding exactly why a signal works before scaling it.
I work extensively in QuantConnect's LEAN engine for research-grade backtesting and live account deployment, though deployment targets vary by strategy and client stack. IB TWS via ibapi, Tradovate, and NinjaTrader are all in regular rotation depending on execution requirements. I build custom analytics layers on top of backtest output: Sharpe decomposition, drawdown attribution, execution cost modeling, and signal decay analysis, because standard tearsheet metrics rarely tell the full story.
- Strategy Coverage
My research spans futures (NQ, ES), SPX and index options, ETFs, and crypto. Strategy types I've built and validated in production include intraday momentum and trend-following systems, mean reversion and stat-arb frameworks, breakout and scalp architectures with dynamic sizing tiers, options strategies including iron condors, defined-risk vertical spreads, 45-DTE and 0DTE SPX structures with delta-based hedge logic, and GEX (gamma exposure) driven directional frameworks using open-interest-weighted dealer positioning data. It's an area where the signal literature is still thin and where getting the methodology right matters more than most people acknowledge.
- Execution Engineering
The research-to-live gap is where most systems break. I build execution infrastructure that closes that gap: Interactive Brokers TWS via ibapi with state machine architectures, order ladder geometry, true breakeven calculations with commission and slippage factored in, and hedge math for multi-leg positions. On the NQ/ES side I've built and audited scalp bot execution logic on Tradovate, integrated Databento for professional tick data pipelines with proper validation against reference data, and developed Pine Script strategies and indicators on TradingView for signal prototyping before committing to full implementation. I'm also familiar with NinjaTrader's execution environment and ATM framework.
Code I deliver is production-standard: structured logging, explicit edge-case handling, clean separation of signal and execution layers, and documented at a level where the system is maintainable after handoff.
- What I Work On:
- Strategy Research & Backtesting: QuantConnect/LEAN, Backtrader, Zipline, VectorBT, QuantLib, Python
- Execution Systems: IB TWS/ibapi, Tradovate API, NinjaTrader, REST/WebSocket broker integrations, FIX Protocol
- Retail Platform Development: MQL4/MQL5 (MetaTrader 4/5), Pine Script (TradingView), NinjaScript (NinjaTrader 8), EasyLanguage (TradeStation), ThinkScript (Thinkorswim), cAlgo/C# (cTrader), AFL (AmiBroker)
- Broker APIs: Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, TD Ameritrade, Tradovate, Oanda, Databento
- Crypto Platforms & APIs: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, Coinbase Advanced Trade, Bitfinex, Deribit (options/derivatives), KuCoin, Gate io, Freqtrade, Hummingbot, 3Commas, Pionex, Gunbot, ccxt (unified exchange library)
- Statistical Testing: Walk-forward testing, parameter sweep analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, bootstrap inference
- Full-Stack Delivery: Data ingestion โ signal research โ backtesting โ live deployment

I provide equity analysis and systematic trading strategy, backed by a verified performance track record. I work with serious individual investors, traders, and small funds who want decisions backed by process and data, not headlines or hype.
Most "stock advice" is opinion dressed up as expertise. Mine isn't. I run a rules based research and trading system built on deep value screening and mean reversion timing, applied consistently across a broad universe of US equities, and I can show you the actual numbers behind it: win rate, realized results, and monthly performance from my own account over the past several months. You're evaluating a track record, not a pitch.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ:
๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐
A full breakdown on any US stock: valuation against historical and sector norms (P/B, P/S, P/E, P/FCF), quality scoring, and specific entry and exit levels. You get a clear answer on whether a stock is actually cheap, or just down.
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐
Recurring buy, sell, and hold signals generated from my proprietary screening and timing system, delivered on a set schedule so you always know what the system is seeing and can act on it in your own timeframe.
๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐น๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด
If you want to run a systematic approach yourself, I help design and refine the system: entry and exit rules, position sizing, and risk management, so your process holds up across market conditions instead of falling apart the first time it's tested.
๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐
Ongoing calls to review your holdings, allocation, and risk exposure, and to stress test decisions against a disciplined framework rather than emotion or news flow.
My methodology combines fundamental screening with technical timing, evaluating a broad universe of US equities on valuation, quality, and mean reversion signals to find opportunities other investors dismiss too early or hold onto too long. The specific screening criteria and trading rules are proprietary and are shared as part of the strategy consulting engagement, not disclosed upfront.
If you want a second opinion on a position, a documented system to run your own trading, or signals from a process with a real track record behind it, let's talk.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing and trading involve risk, and future performance may differ materially from historical performance.
