I’m originally from southern California and after graduating, I took a job on ‘The Street’ with a large well known investment bank here in NYC. I started out as a tactical developer, creating automation solutions and tools to help the trading desk for a couple of years, and have since moved onto the business side as a research analyst for emerging market government bonds. My interests include: traveling, food, art/design, investing, and martial arts.
