One line from Murakami has always stayed with me: 鈥淲hatever it is you鈥檙e seeking won鈥檛 come in the form you鈥檙e expecting.鈥� It captures what I enjoy most about markets: uncertainty, adaptation, and the search for patterns where the answer is rarely obvious. Through my past internships and projects, I realized that I enjoy turning messy questions into clear frameworks, testing ideas with data, and adjusting when things do not go as expected. That process of building, testing, and learning is what drew me toward systematic trading. In S&T, I had the chance to work across different markets and trading teams. I learned how to move between code, models, and market intuition, while thinking carefully about execution, risk, and changing market conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy poker, Dota 2, basketball, and ultimate frisbee. I like situations where I have to read what is happening, make decisions with incomplete information, and adjust on the fly. I鈥檓 always up for a thoughtful conversation about markets, a new idea to test, or maybe a game of heads-up poker. 听
