Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Jin is a quantitative developer with 15 years of engineering experience blending low-latency trading systems, scalable backends, and financial modeling across Citadel and Goldman Sachs. Trained at NYU Stern and Courant in finance, statistics, and computer science, he builds high-performance, concurrent systems—ranging from millisecond market-making engines to SQL-optimized data pipelines—and has a strong Linux sysadmin background dating back to coding at 13. He has repeatedly shipped production trading infrastructure that ties exchange connectivity, risk controls, and automated decision logic, and he pairs that with hands-on research in time-series and sentiment-driven credit strategies. Self-motivated and autodidactic, Kevin is as comfortable tuning kernel-level performance as authoring statistical models, and he frequently translates academic techniques into robust, auditable trading tools.
