About Me
I enjoy building systems at the intersection of finance, engineering, and data. My work spans algorithmic trading engines, performance‑critical C++/Python tooling, and side projects that automate or optimize real‑world workflows. I'm always looking for more ways to make my life more interesting.

Research
Synthesis of Peptide Nanomaterials via Controlled Self-Assembly
Apr 2022 – Aug 2023 | Singapore
NUS High / NUS
- Investigated whether amino acids could form cocrystals with the FF dipeptide to alter its self-assembly into peptide nanomaterials.

Technical Projects
C++-Accelerated Pairs Trading Walk Forward Analysis
Built a C++-accelerated Walk-Forward Analysis engine for pairs trading. Uses Kalman filter, Z-score signals, and statistical checks (ADF/Hurst) to pick stable, mean-reverting pairs. Optimized for thousands of backtests in real time.

Pairs Trading Paper Trading Engine
Developed a pairs trading algorithm that systematically monitors over 20 equity/ETF pairs for mean-reversion signals. The platform applies rigorous statistical filters to ensure high-confidence entry signals and executes trades automatically through Alpaca’s paper trading API, with performance updates posted to a Telegram channel.
Scrabble Word Trainer
Developed a high-speed Scrabble Trainer that increases player word recognition speed and competitive decision-making agility.
