I am a student at CUNY Baruch for a Bachelors in Financial Mathematics. I work at Predicting Alpha, creating backtests and research reports on well-documented Options Trading Strategies. I study Volatility Modeling and Options Trading in my free time and am looking to connect with people in the industry.

• Co-founded an options trading firm that specializes in capturing risk premia and market inefficiencies in the equity and cryptocurrency options markets
• Completed 15+ systematic backtests using Python on well-documented market anomalies including the cross section of delta hedged option returns and variance swaps, the term structure of individual equity volatility, post-earnings announcement drift, the overnight return premium, and relative value volatility arbitrage
