About Me
Combining quantitative physics training and computational methodologies to analyze and forecast financial markets.
Professional Profile
Hi, I'm Shawntay - a quantitative analyst combining physics and financial modeling to forecast markets
With a physics degree from Columbia University and computational research experience at the Flatiron Institute, I apply quantitative methods and physical principles to model and analyze financial markets.
For the past six years, I have been working as a Quantitative Analyst at Goldman Sachs. My role involves developing robust mathematical models to forecast market behavior, support trading strategies, and manage financial risk. I enjoy bridging the gap between scientific computing and complex market dynamics.
