He currently leads R&D for GLights systematic bench at bp, after designing intraday G10 cross-currency signals, an event-driven FX carry backtester and C++ hedging-cost analytics while at TD Securities. His background blends rigorous academic training—a PhD-track in Management Science and an MSc in Theoretical Physics—with hands-on implementation in Python, C++, R and legacy languages like Fortran. He has a track record of translating advanced models (GARCH, stochastic volatility, particle/Kalman filters) into production tooling and has contributed original dimension-reduction and nearest-correlation solutions adopted by methodology boards. Comfortable both in front-office PnL/hedging workflows and mentoring junior researchers, he also brings unusual people skills from leading international travel groups, underscoring adaptability and operational leadership.
