Election post
I'm running for Vice President because I want to make Quant Society more active and valuable for students. This year, I’ve been involved in both Quant and Fintech Society, hosting a stock price prediction hackathon, running a quant finance workshop, and working with other societies like Data Science. Since Quant Society didn’t have a president, I used my role in Fintech to help organise events and secure rooms, making sure both societies could run bigger events for more people.
I also have experience in algorithmic trading, with a strategy that’s returned over 40% in the last eight months, and achieved a CAGR of 63% over a 20-year backtest. I want to bring more hands-on opportunities like trading competitions, workshops, and speaker events so members can build real quant skills.
As a Computer Science student, I bring a strong programming background, which complements the more maths-focused approach many take in quant. I want to use this to expand the society’s focus on practical, technical skills that are directly useful in quant finance.
As VP, I’ll focus on getting more industry connections, running useful events, and making sure the society is a place where students can actually apply what they learn.
