About Me

Production AI systems for investment workflows — multi-model orchestration, systematic trading platforms, and automation tooling between investors and their data.

The pattern: take a manual, judgment-heavy financial process and replace it with something systematic and measurable. Running a multi-model trading system across 50+ US equities, a live prediction-market platform on Kalshi with a deployed risk engine, and AI orchestration infrastructure for investment research workflows.

Focused on where AI agents meet capital markets: investment research automation, systematic strategies, and tools that compress the distance between a thesis and a trade.

Professional Experience

Self-directed

Independent Quantitative Researcher & Developer

Sep 2025 – Present Los Angeles, CA
  • Designed and deployed a live risk engine for a prediction-market trading platform (Kalshi): exposure caps, daily loss limits, confidence-adjusted sizing, and Azure-hosted monitoring dashboards. Authored a 10-page forensic post-mortem decomposing live-vs-paper PnL divergence into component risk factors with pre-registered out-of-sample filters and shadow-data logging.
  • Built a multi-model AI orchestration framework in Python dispatching configurable analytical agents across leading LLM APIs — cost-efficient infrastructure for automating research, monitoring, and reporting workflows. Proof-of-concept testing for investment risk automation: document summarization, data aggregation, anomaly flagging, and dashboard generation.

USC Marshall School of Business

AI Integration Consultant

May 2026 – Present · Los Angeles, CA
  • Helping Marshall faculty understand current AI capabilities and design controlled learning environments for students — hallucination-constrained setups where model outputs are scoped to professor-defined teaching policies (e.g. guiding students through reasoning rather than delivering final answers).

Graduate Teaching Assistant · FBE-529 Financial Analysis & Valuation

Jan 2025 – May 2026 · Los Angeles, CA
  • Taught equity valuation (DCF, multiples, LBO, APV, economic profit) to 30+ MBA students; graded weekly case memos and provided detailed written feedback on financial analysis and assumption quality across diverse industries and capital structures.

DefineX

Prompt Engineer

Apr – Sep 2024 Milan, Italy
  • Identified and quantified data quality gaps in loan-application document processing for major Italian financial services clients; designed a structured evaluation framework with 50+ tested variants, improving extraction accuracy from ~70% to 90%+ and eliminating manual review bottlenecks for credit risk teams.

Euronext Securities

Custody Intern · Income & Fiscal Services

May – Nov 2023 Milan, Italy
  • Reconciled 1,000+ annual corporate events (dividends, coupons, tender offers, mergers) across derivatives and asset-backed securities, identifying and resolving operational discrepancies across custody, tax, and operations teams. Built an automation tool cutting processing time from ~1 hour to under 1 minute — an operational risk control improvement with direct, measurable impact.

Deloitte Consulting

Junior Analyst · Financial Services Industry

May – Aug 2022 Milan, Italy
  • Designed a secondary-market tax-credit platform adopted by 5+ major financial institutions, translating investor workflow requirements into technical specifications enabling €10B+ in transactions.
