Aspiring Quantitative Researcher, Puzzle Enthusiast and Budding Poker Player

Welcome to my corner of the web. I'm driven by a passion for uncovering patterns, whether in complex financial markets, or the deceptive simplicity of a well-crafted puzzle. I am extremely interested in quantitative research which is a natural extension of this curiosity, allowing me to apply rigorous analytical methods to solve challenging problems. This site showcases some of the projects and ideas that excite me.

Projects

Analysis of Simulated Stochastic Processes

Theoretical overview of twelve distinct stochastic processes, demonstrated through computational simulation

Automated Portfolio Optimiser

Python framework provides a modular approach to portfolio optimization, risk management, and performance evaluation. It includes various optimization techniques, risk-adjusted metrics, and visualization tools for financial portfolio analysis.

The VIX and the Architecture of Exchange Rate Comovement

This study concludes that the decoupling of currency narrative is a fallacy; in times of crisis, the Indian currency market becomes a clear and predictable reflection of the world’s singular demand for the US Dollar.

Mini Lisp Interpreter

Minimalist Lisp interpreter written in Python. It supports basic arithmetic, conditionals, function definitions (including lambdas), list operations, and a standard environment with built-in functions

The Maze Game

The Maze Game is an interactive puzzle game created with Python and the Pygame library. In the game, you navigate through a randomly generated maze as a knight, avoiding enemies and trying to reach the exit. The maze layout is dynamically created, providing a new experience each time you play. Players can control the knight using the arrow keys, while enemies attempt to chase the player.

Vents

Vents is a fun and engaging board game, inspired by the classic "Snakes and Ladders" game, but with a twist! In this version, players are transported randomly to other vents on the board, which could either help or hinder their progress. Instead of snakes and ladders, the game features vents that move players to different parts of the board, potentially advancing them or sending them backward.
