I am a motivated and passionate individual interested in a challenging career offering me opportunities to learn and apply myself. I currently work as a quantitative analyst at Bank of the West, where my projects span optimization, regression modeling, simulation, and basic machine learning. I am always interested in opportunities which are heavily mathematical, notably those involving algorithm design, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Quantitative Analyst @ • Anomaly detection – Wrote a simple algorithm which detects behavioral shifts in any time series, assuming the existence of some regular behavior (trends with noise, periodicity, bounded variance). • Simulation – Created coherent simulations of MSA-level macroeconomic variables for use in the bank’s credit VaR calculation. Also simulating changes in the yield curve for an economic value of equity VaR calculation. • Optimization – Performing a balance sheet optimization for the bank, which includes regulatory requirements as linear constraints. • UI design – Created an interactive scatter plot of loan scorecard (loan vs no loan) variables with a time dimension allowing the user to visualize and investigate the evolution of the new loans acquired by the bank. • Regression – Adjusted 20 bank-level loss and revenue regression (linear) models from the Federal Reserve to fit on Bank of the West data. From February 2014 to Present (1 year 11 months) Statistics Instructor @ Taught Distributions, Regression, Probability, Confidence Intervals, Hypothesis Testing From August 2012 to December 2012 (5 months) Adjunct Lecturer @ Performed research in mirror symmetry, extending the results proved in my thesis. Taught courses ranging from calculus through basic proof-writing and number theory. From September 2011 to June 2012 (10 months)
