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.
