Quantitative Trader & Software Engineer

About Me

I am a software engineer and quantitative trader working at the intersection of production systems architecture and statistical modeling. My background spans building low-latency algorithmic trading infrastructure, engineering mathematical models, and researching the mechanistic interpretability of transformer networks. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Duke University, where I graduated as an Angier B. Duke Scholar.

Experience

Quantitative Trader

2023.08 — 2026.08
Jane Street Capital • New York, NY

Designed and deployed algorithmic trading software and quantitative research strategies within fixed income and bond markets. Devised and trained core signal models using Python, and engineered robust, production-critical execution systems natively within the firm's OCaml infrastructure.

AI Safety Research Fellow (REMIX Program)

2023.01 — 2023.05
Redwood Research

Conducted research focused on the mechanistic interpretability of transformer-based language models. Designed and implemented causal scrubbing frameworks to isolate and analyze in-context linear regression processes inside transformer layers.

Undergraduate Research & Internships

2022 — 2023
