Top SchoolDanny Cho is a quantitative research engineer with nine years of experience building scalable infrastructure and data-driven systems across top-tier tech and finance firms. He currently contributes to Citadel's Global Quantitative Strategies after four years at Google in Core Infrastructure and prior engineering roles at Facebook working on analytics databases. His background blends academic research in databases and operating systems at Stanford and UC Santa Barbara with hands-on product and infrastructure experience from internships and early-career roles.
