I’m currently on garden leave, and will be starting at Jane Street in March 2027.

Prior to this, I was a research engineer at DRW on the Fixed Income, Currency and Commodity Options desk. DRW is a proprietary trading firm that provides liquidity in a wide range of asset classes. The work I did was mostly concerned with developing and maintaining semi-systematic market-making strategies, as well as building research tools and infrastructure to develop and deploy mid-frequency signals.

I graduated with my BS and MCS from the University of Illinois in May 2022, where I focused on coursework in algorithms and theory, and distributed systems and networking. I enjoy uncovering abstractions that have wide impacts, but are often taken for granted. My favorite classes were the ones that challenged my assumptions.

You can find a more complete work history on this page, as well as links to some projects that I’ve worked on over the years.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading a variety of topics, and I’ve compiled a set of book recommendations here. I also occasionally post some photos I’ve taken on my travels. Any public code I’ve written can be found on my SourceHut, although my emacs configuration is available on this page.
