Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Rice is a data-driven Director of Operations and former quantitative developer with a decade of experience building scalable trading systems, ETL pipelines, and mid-frequency portfolio execution tools. Based in Austin, he combines hands-on Python and SQL engineering with operational leadership across startups and institutional trading firms, including multi-region pipelines at Balyasny and founding a systematic trading shop. Drew has bridged research, execution, and infrastructure teams to keep live trading operational under time-sensitive constraints, and he contributes to open-source tooling—improving a popular unofficial Coinbase Pro Python client’s WebSocket and MongoDB integration.
