About
Building at the intersection of finance and technology.
I am Aryan, a second-year Computing and Financial Management student at the University of Waterloo. I like building things that turn messy market data into something you can act on.
That has meant a portfolio optimizer that handles FX and transaction costs, a simulator that replays historical crises against a custom portfolio, and an earnings scanner that flags surprises which are unusual for a given company.
Most of what I know comes from building the thing rather than reading about it. When I am not coding or studying, I am usually watching the Raptors or the Blue Jays!
