Incoming MFE Candidate · UC Berkeley Haas · Class of 2028
I work on the quantitative core of investment decisions: how portfolios are constructed, optimized, and tested under uncertainty.
Currently in Quantitative Portfolio Management at BlackRock Index Equity; previously Lead, Quant Strategy, at Fidelity Investments.
Seeking Summer 2027 internships in quantitative research, portfolio management & systematic investing.
