About Me
I am an aspiring data scientist studying at UNC Chapel Hill currently pursuing a B.S.-M.S. in Statistics & Analytics with a double major in Mathematics.
My current interests include:
- Quantitative Finance
- Algorithmic Game Theory
- Sports Analytics
When I’m not coding, you can find me playing pickleball, poker, or trying a new cuisine.

Projects
Optimal Stopping In Marble Game Using Bayesian Analysis
Tools: Bayesian Analysis, Mathematical Probability, Optimization
Given a game with a bag of blue and red marbles where drawing a blue marble increases our value by 1 dollar and drawing a red marble decreases our value by 1 dollar, can we use probability distributions and Bayeisan anaylsis to find the optimal stopping point if we don’t know the number of blue and red marbles, only the total number of marbles?
Paper
Don’t Bet On Sunshine: A Modern Re-Examination of Weather Effects on Stock Market Behavior
Tools: Python, Matplotlib, Regression Analysis, Seaborn
I revisit the long-standing behavioral hypothesis that weather affects investor mood and, consequently, financial market behavior. I estimate a series of univariate and multivariate linear regressions using return, intraday volatility, and trading volume (both raw and log-transformed) as dependent variables. I also test for delayed effects using lagged weather variables and behavioral responses to short-term temperature changes.
