I am a quantitative researcher at Proof Trading and cryptographer by training. I completed my PhD in computer science at the University of Florida, where I worked at the intersection of provable security and data structures.
You’ll find me online almost everywhere as smarky7CD (case-insensitive), or occasionally smarky0x7cd.
My work and research spans:
- 📊 Statistical modeling
- 📈 Algorithmic finance
- 🔐 Secure and verifiable systems (e.g., authenticated data structures, key transparency, robust randomized algorithms)
When I’m not working, I’m:
- 🧠 Reading about philosophy, probability, or strange corners of American history and culture
- 🎥 Watching films (which I’ve recently started logging on Letterboxd)
- 🎲 Playing poker, golf, or a round of bar trivia
You can learn more at my personal site.
