Objective
I aspire to become a quantitative modeller. I have a penchant for mathematics. I am learning mathematical finance
and enjoy building solvers, implementing numerical algorithms in C++. I like to be driven, I am a quick learner.
Some of my favorite reads are, Options volatility and pricing by Sheldon Natenburg.
Education
Indira Gandhi National Open University, India
Bachelors of Science (BSc.) - Mathematics. 2017-2020
Relevant courses include Linear Algebra, Vector calculus, Real Analysis, Ordinary and Partial
Differential Equations, Probability theory, Numerical methods, Mechanics and Electromagnetism.
Vidyavardhini’s College of Engineering, University of Mumbai, India
Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) - Information Technology. 2004-2008
Relevant coursework includes Analysis and design of algorithms, engineering math, OOPS and
generic programming(C++), discrete mathematics.
Self-learning projects
Cubic Splines Interpolation.
In diverse fields such as computer graphics, pricing of financial derivatives, automobile design, it is often required
to interpolate between a set of observed data points. To price an off-market instrument, you must interpolate
between key liquid quoted maturities.
I put together the intuition, the math behind cubic splines and a python code snippet implementing the
algorithm in this github notebook.
The Vanna-Volga method for FX implied volatility smile.
In FX options markets, there are in general three volatility quotes
available for a given market maturity: the delta-neutral straddle,
the risk reversal for 25 delta call and put, and the butterfly with
25 delta wings. The application of Vanna-Volga pricing method
allows us to use the three market quotes to rebuild the whole implied
volatility surface, in particular for those far in-the-money and out-
of-the-money strikes.
This document summarizes the option greeks Vega, Volga and Vanna
and then the Vanna-Volga method, along with a Python implemen-
tation.
Options pricing using Lattice Models. This is a short essay on using lattice methods to price European
and American style options.
Work experience
Credit Suisse, Wroclaw, Poland
Quantitative Analyst April 2019 - Present
I am working as a junior quantitative analyst on various tasks for rates and credit derivative products.
