Interested In Financial Engineering
Hi, I'm Shashank.
I'm interested in the intersection of financial engineering, focusing on algorithmic trading and quantitative investing across equities, options, forex, and fixed-income markets. I'm also curious on how mathematical models for pricing, risk, and yield curve dynamics can be applied to real-world trading and portfolio management.
