DATA SCIENTIST — everything I build, you can verify the math. I deliver transparent, auditable data models where every number can be checked. Specializing in quantitative research, statistical modeling, Data insights and automation. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH & PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION : I build and backtest equities, with live execution and kill switches on Alpaca where needed. Position sizing, risk allocation, rebalancing logic, all of it grounded in the math, not gut feel. Quick example of how I think: a momentum strategy covering 145 stocks was delivering 41% CAGR. Expanding to 245 stocks dropped it to 36%. Counterintuitive. The root cause: New stocks were selected on hot recent momentum, so by entry their cycle was already done. Built a 5-filter Monte Carlo system, tested 700+ parameter combinations, to identify which satellites are early-cycle vs peaked. Result: 43%+ CAGR with lower drawdown than the 145-only baseline. The problem wasn't the strategy. It was the timing of entry. Another example: I built a live MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) forecasting and trading system for a fund client, covering 265+ cohort securities across weekly, monthly, and quarterly return horizons. The interesting part wasn't the ML, it was the feature design. Standard technical indicators on bond prices are noise. What actually drives MBS price movements is duration, convexity, prepayment rates, regime variables like curve steepness, VIX, and Fed MBS holdings. Every feature built from first principles, nothing borrowed from a vendor that can't be verified. This is where I spend most of my time. Systematic backtests, portfolio construction, Monte Carlo optimization. No black boxes, no ML hype every output can be checked in a spreadsheet. Not "add more data." Find the actual structure driving returns, and build features that reflect it. DATA SCIENCE & ANALYTICS I've worked across real estate, e-commerce, and financial analytics, usually called in when a team has data but no clear answer yet. I focus on getting to a decision you can act on, not a 40-slide deck. Results worth mentioning: ML automation cut a client's data processing from 286 days to 1 day, after they'd run the same manual process for two years without realizing it was automatable Ad spend attribution model that improved campaign ROI by 25% WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT ▸ I show my work. Every model, every analysis, every number comes with the method behind it, so you're never trusting a black box ▸ I'd rather tell you a strategy doesn't hold up than build you something that looks good and fails in real world. ▸ I scope real problems fast: send me what you're working with and I'll tell you within 24 hours if and how I can help
