Built and operate a private quantitative trading operation, organized across
three functional desks:
- Trading (protocol development and risk management),
- Research (algorithmic capture and historical validation),
- Engineering (data infrastructure, broker integration, and execution systems).
Each desk operates with its own standards and accountability—all three are me.
The trading methodology is grounded in a proprietary framework,
deliberately outside retail trading conventions. Research protocols address
lookahead bias in historical testing while maintaining a parallel system for
live forward-testing—two distinct algorithmic problems requiring separate solutions.
