About

I'm a junior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign studying Computer Science, Economics, and Statistics (4.0 GPA). My research focuses on prediction market pricing — specifically, how to decompose observed market prices into physical probabilities and risk premiums using the Wang Transform.

I'm also a CFA Level II candidate and a participant in the Baruch Pre-MFE Numerical Linear Algebra Seminar. Outside of research, I build open-source tools for quantitative finance: oracle3 (an autonomous prediction market trading agent, 100+ stars) and clawdfolio (portfolio analytics, on PyPI).
