Guangqi Li is a Columbia Financial Engineering graduate student and quantitative researcher with 11 years of experience building systematic strategies, risk frameworks, and ML-driven trading tools. He has delivered end-to-end research—from Barra and Brinson attribution and factor crowding diagnostics to LSTM return models and RAG-powered NLP tools for trading commentary—across asset managers and prop shops. Practical wins include a pairs mean-reversion engine with robust HMM regime switching and a mid-frequency crypto microstructure study, as well as a 15.9% annualized excess return backtest from an intern project. Comfortable in Python, R, and SQL, he pairs production-minded coding (contributions to Alibaba’s React component and eslint toolchains) with rigorous statistical validation and deployment pipelines. Based in New York, he’s seeking 2026 quant internships and brings an unusual blend of front-end open-source experience and deep quantitative, attribution-oriented thinking.
