About

From code to charts. I'm a Computer Science graduate with a passion for financial markets, quantitative thinking, and the technology that drives modern trading. My journey started in software — algorithms, data structures, Python — but my obsession with markets pulled me toward trading, price action, and the mechanics of how money moves. I have two years of active crypto trading experience across spot and futures markets — navigating real volatility, managing risk, and developing a deep understanding of order flow, market microstructure, and Smart Money Concepts. Beyond crypto, I've produced independent equity research on listed equities, authored sector-level market reports, and managed real treasury investment data in a commercial bank back-office role. My near-term goal is breaking into remote trading roles — proprietary trading, trading analyst, or crypto research — where I can apply my skills in a live professional environment. My longer-term trajectory is quantitative trading, leveraging Python and statistical methods to build systematic strategies across crypto, equities, and commodities.

What I'm looking for

Seeking a remote Junior Trader role with real market experience. Two years of active crypto spot & futures trading — order flow, risk management, and Smart Money Concepts. Background spans equity research, fixed income, treasury operations, and a CS degree that adds a quantitative edge. Not starting from zero — skin in the game, analytical mindset, and a clear path toward quant trading.
