Self-taught quantitative trader with a passion for technology and financial markets. I'm currently working through my Computer Science degree at Florida State University while also developing my trading skills and a few side projects along the way. The most prominent of which being Lurk which is a trading edge discovery & analysis tool for traders. Due to api costs the plan is to initially charge a subscription for the service, with the long-term goal being to open-source the tool.
