Quantitative Researcher

AI Engineer-Architect. 6 years across quant research, production trading systems, and multi-agent AI for financial markets.

I'm a quant researcher who builds the eval harness behind the alpha. Six years across equities, futures, FX, and crypto. Same methodology, two lanes: systematic strategies on public data and multi-agent LLM systems behind frozen specs.

I love turning rough ideas into things a stranger can re-run from a public commit. The proof sits one click below: strategy workbooks, trade logs, and the G1 to G31 gate stack.

§ 01. The Work

Quant research, production AI engineering, and the chrome discipline that makes the work legible to a hiring reader are not adjacent skills. They are one cross-validated practice. A trading edge cleared by the 31-gate stack is the same artifact audited for accessibility, indexed in a workbook, and rendered as recruiter-facing proof on this site. Each discipline stress-tests the others.

Below: 9 quant strategies with published methodology, 6 production AI projects, 25 public repositories, and a 31-gate eval harness with a public kill log. Every claim is dated. Every commit is referenced. Every closed backtest carries its drawdown window. Client-confidential work is omitted.

§ 04. What I Ship

Four engagement shapes. Not services I list. Live systems built, deployed, kept honest with verifiable evidence.

QUANT RESEARCH

Statistical-arb pipelines that survive live deployment

Walk-forward backtests, deflated Sharpe, regime conditioning. The 31-gate stack filters out edges that only looked good in-sample. Each pipeline ships with a paper-trade leg and a postmortem.

AI ENGINEERING

Multi-agent build systems with eval-first discipline

Production agents behind a frozen eval harness and a kill-switch. Failures banked into postmortems; wins banked into the next eval set. Ship behind metrics, not vibes.

AI EVAL

Statistical gates for LLM claims

Deflated Sharpe, block-bootstrap CIs, walk-forward stability. Same tools you use on backtests, applied to LLM eval scores. Built when the metric is too pretty.

REPRODUCIBILITY

Reproducible artifacts with audit trails

Frozen-spec eval, idempotent re-run, one-page AAR. Verifiable by a stranger, not just an insider.
