Builds autonomous equity research and trading systems. Currently shipping Leviathan — an autonomous equity research platform that turns a ticker into a full DCF model, research memo, and investor deck. Looking for the next seat where research rigor and engineering throughput compound.
Projects
Things I've built. Shipped, breaking, or quietly running on a server somewhere.
Leviathan (LVT-001) — Autonomous equity research platform
Where I've been, in chronological order — from the first ticker to the current seat.
Early
Started trading
Got curious about markets as a teenager. Self-taught from filings, transcripts, and primary sources rather than influencers. Quiet, long, compounding interest.
Niche conviction
Built early conviction in a then-niche corner of markets. Spent years researching it before it was mainstream. Wrong often, right enough to keep going.
Drawdown → discipline
Learned the hard way that conviction without risk management is just a story. A drawdown taught more than any course. Built checklists, position-sizing rules, and a "thesis-kill" file for every position.
School
Millburn High School
Honors coursework, AP-heavy load in math, economics, and the sciences. Where the markets habit started turning into something more structured.
Investment Club — President
Ran the club, restructured the pitch process, mentored younger members on building real DCFs instead of vibes-based price targets.
Rutgers Business School — Finance & Analytics
Dean's List. Coursework in valuation, econometrics, and accounting forensics.
Internships
FinBotX — Quant / research intern
Worked on systematic equity signals. First time touching production-grade backtesting infrastructure.
Work
Independent quantitative research
Built mean-variance portfolio optimization on the S&P 100 in Python (PyPortfolioOpt · cvxpy · scipy). Layered K-means preselection, GARCH(1,1) volatility via arch, covariance shrinkage, and weight-bounded constraints feeding the efficient frontier. Backtested through tail events (including the COVID drawdown) against equal-weight and proportional-weight baselines. Outputs: optimized weights, drawdown curves, Sharpe-maximized portfolios.
Realized every sell-side report I read could be assembled by an agent if I gave it the right tools. Started building.
Now
Leviathan
Institutional-grade autonomous equity research platform. See Projects → Leviathan for the full breakdown.
Next
Looking for the next seat
Targeting roles where research rigor and engineering throughput compound.
Creative
Side-A is writing and music; Side-B is live field notes from running real money. A sticky-whiteboard of pinned tiles, some finished, most in flight.
Side A — Tracks
A1 · Music — Piano, Guitar. Ongoing.
A2 · Writing & Research — Essays and primary-source equity work.
Side B — Tracks
B1 · Market Commentary — Notes from the tape.
B2 · Live — Speaking and podcasts (forthcoming).
Essays
LVT.MEMO.001 — Why I'm building Leviathan
2026.03. Origin essay on the case for autonomous equity research — why a single analyst with a model assembly line beats a team with spreadsheets, and what that implies for the sell-side stack over the next five years.
LVT.MEMO.002 — DCF, agent-assembled
2026.04. Walks through the WACC → DCF → bear/base/bull pipeline end-to-end: where data is sourced, where assumptions are bounded, where Monte Carlo enters, and how forensic-accounting checks gate the final BUY/HOLD/SELL.
Personal
A radial map of the off-screen me — convictions, books, music, training, places, people. Selected fragments below; the full mind-map lives in the interactive view.
Places
Millburn, NJ — Hometown. Millburn High School, cross country + track. Where the trading habit started.
Europe — First FinTech internship abroad. First time acclimating to a culture not my own.
People
Parents — They broke the delusion that asking for help was an admission of inferiority. The humility lesson came from them.
Cross-country teammates — The first real taste of camaraderie. Strenuous practice, mutual respect, friendships forged in shared difficulty.
Books / Influences
Marcus Aurelius — Meditations. The Stoic spine.
Friedrich Nietzsche — Beyond Good and Evil · Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Where "invent yourself" comes from.
Edwin Lefèvre — Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. The trader's canon: patience, discipline, accepting outcomes.
Practice
Long-distance running — first sport where the results of effort were tangible. No shortcuts to physical labor.
Reading biographies — primary-source human experience, mined for anything useful.
Writing — essays, worldview drafts, manuscript pages. A tool, not a hobby.
Curiosities
Markets in motion — valuation, market dynamics, the social physics of investing.
