 Investment Researcher • Financial AI & ML Systems Architect • Data‑Driven Storyteller


👋 About Me

  • 🎓 M.S. Economic Analytics (2025)  |  B.S.B.A. Finance (2024)
  • 🧩 I craft systems that fuse fundamental, technical, and behavioral data into actionable insights.
  • 🔬 Passionate about using psychology and econometrics with modern ML‑Ops & GenAI tooling.
  • 📈 I’ve steered student‑run funds, engineered AI swarms, and built real‑time dashboards—all focused on turning data into alpha.

🚀 Highlight Projects

Project What it does Tech Stack
Beyond the Benchmark An analysis that benchmarks the prediction accuracy of the CAPM and Fama French factors against Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Network regressors within GICS sectors. Used K-fold CV for training with a holdout test subset to prevent overfitting. Employed a combination of randomsearch and girdsearch to optimize hyper parameter tuning. scikit-learn, statsmodels, pandas, NumPy
Stock Pitch Competition Blended top-down macro context with bottom-up unit economics. Conducted channel checks by interviewing franchise operators and inspecting sites, converting insights into segmented revenue DCF models with scenario analysis and stochastic forecasts. Presentations to investment professionals refined my ability to defend assumptions and express clear investment theories. Excel, Python (Monte Carlo), PowerPoint, SEC API
Performance Analytics Dashboard Streaming dashboard for portfolio performance KPIs (Îą, Sharpe, Sortino, tracking error, Expense), executes Monte-Carlo VaR/CVaR simulations, pushes volatility alerts, and delivers sector and multi-factor attribution analysis for risk management Python, Dash/Plotly
Sector Rotation Pro Streamlit app using real time data for sector rotation analysis. It flags market regime shifts using Hurst exponents and volatility, visualizes sector leadership with interactive RRGs, runs Prophet-based scenario forecasts, and leverages PCA clustering, Granger causality, along with rolling correlation, beta, and skew. Python, Streamlit, Prophet, scikit-learn
Economic Report Swarm Reinforcement-learning agents stream real-time macro signals across asset classes into an event-driven aggregator that publishes a macro outlook. Swarms, RLlib
Equity Comparison System A multi-agent system that uses the LlamaIndex framework for agent orchestration and Pydantic models for data validation. It leverages GPT Vision for chart pattern recognition and parses earnings-call transcripts for behavioral signals. By combining these outputs with fundamental and technical metrics, it generates a comprehensive comparison. Python, LangChain/LlamaIndex, OpenAI & Vision LLMs, Pydantic, FastAPI
DCF Analysis System An agent system that performs a DCF valuation with scenario analysis using LLM powered reasoning for growth rate assumptions along with a reverse DCF with sensitivity analysis to determine implied rates from the current equity price. Python, swarms, pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Dash/Plotly
