You don't understand a model until you've had to handle its edge cases in code.

About

I'm a student at Northeastern's D'Amore-McKim School of Business, studying Economics and Business Administration with a Finance concentration and a Data Science minor. The thesis behind that combination: the analysts who'll matter are the ones who can both build the model and build the tool that builds the model.

Right now most of my energy goes into a finance-AI project roadmap: tools that do real analyst work, built in Python and shipped publicly. I haven't locked in exactly where I want to end up yet, and this site is partly how I figure that out, by building things and seeing what sticks.

Off the desk: in the gym chasing an Arnold-in-'75 physique (results may vary), on the squash court, and listening to house music.
