Condensed Resume:

• May 2024 → August 2024 - Software Engineering Intern at Apollo Global Management. Received Return Offer

Highlights:

My advisor giving me a shoutout at the NBER Summer Institute Asset Pricing meeting (36:45) and some of the work I did for it (GitHub.)

Won the Research/Data Case within the UChicago Trading Competition - widely regarded as the top undergraduate trading competition

I also built a news trading bot for the live trading portion. It worked excellently - the one round (out of nine) the news wasn't fake (had a signal)
