I'm a builder, learner, and occasional overthinker. By day I work in SAP Basis consulting. By night I'm trading the New York open on Nasdaq futures, and the rest of the time I'm deep in Python notebooks and quant finance rabbit holes.
This blog is my public notebook — a record of the pivot from enterprise IT to algorithmic trading. With all the wrong turns included.
What I'm working on
Trading Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ) intraday on funded prop firm accounts — real dollars, real payouts, every session logged in the public journal. In parallel, I'm turning the discretionary edge mechanical: Python backtests on 12 years of CME 1-minute data, one strategy at a time, with every verdict published in The Lab — including the ones that fail.
The long-term goal is a fully systematic trading operation. The current goal is staying disciplined enough, day after day, to earn it.
