Experience
Goldman Sachs — Quantitative Strategist (Associate)
May 2022 — Jan 2026
- Led an end-to-end OTC client FIX flow for equity-linked products (FIX protocol → Java microservice processor → GS Slang-connected pricing), driving a 150% increase in trades from the client.
- Built pricing data ingestion for structured products: stored product datasets in MongoDB via scheduled jobs and persisted curated datasets to AWS S3 for redundancy and downstream consumption.
- Orchestrated feature engineering workflows using Apache Airflow on EC2, running Python transformations for normalization and dimensionality reduction, improving ML prediction stability by ~50%.
- Developed analytics pipelines and Superset dashboards to monitor turnaround time and error distributions across distribution channels; metrics used to forecast customer flow and support deal execution.
- Helped maintain Kafka streaming for microservices with IAM-based access control and archival to S3.

Notable projects

- Real estate niche CRM — Dockerized React + Express + Postgres stack with API-based channel integrations (WhatsApp/Instagram/Facebook) and workflow automation via n8n; experimented with self-hosted Llama3-8B for lead query replies.
- Crypto low-cap trading bot — tracked KOL posts, scored sentiment with FinBERT, and used XGBoost features (market cap, volume, volatility) to inform holding time.
