**Quant Trading Engineer | Backtesting, Automation, Research, Hedging** I build institutional-grade backtests, strategy validation and trade tooling across US equities, options, derivatives and crypto. Expect clean assumptions, reproducible runs, and clear diagnostics (PnL decomposition, robustness checks, and failure modes) that I will be able to translate trade automation. What I do: • Backtesting & Strategy Validation: Rules-based strategies, scenario testing, overfit conscious optimization, and robustness/OOS checks. I focus on bias-aware implementation and interpretable results. • Hedging & Risk Overlays: Delta hedges, band/regime-based hedging policies, funding/carry modeling, and PnL decomposition (what comes from fees vs hedge vs carry vs costs). • Trading Data Pipelines: ETL workflows, time-series cleaning, automated storage, and reproducible datasets. Integrations with data sources and formats your workflow requires. • Automation & API Work: Automating analysis, integrating necessary APIs, building scheduled jobs, and removing repetitive manual work. Supporting broader automation tasks to reduce manual work. Tools & Skills Python • Pandas • NumPy • Time-Series Data • ETL • SQL • API Integration • Automation • Performance Stats My background I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering. 3 years software development, and data analysis work focused on Python-based market analytics, ETL pipelines, and time-series research. 7+ years trading and building systems for small funds, prop traders and personal use. How I work: - Clear communication - Clean, reproducible code - Fast turnaround - Transparent assumptions and limitations - Respect for your idea, IP, and confidentiality If you have a strategy idea, data project, or automation you want built or tested, I can help. Feel free to send me a message! I’ll take a look at your project and let you know what’s possible.
