In my current job profile I apply the theoretical knowledge that I gained while finishing my thesis, Three Essays on Indian Equity Options Market. I work as an algorithmic trader in a proprietary (stock broking) trading firm. I develop automated trading strategies for obtaining statistical advantages while trading options. Primarily, my function is to create new and better machine learning algorithms to forecast volatility of returns to gather profits. I code on C/C++, Python, R, MATLAB and EVIEWS. I also conduct a lot of time-series analysis on big (tick-by-tick) dataset to search for price mismatches. My research interests are in the area of options strategies, algorithmic trading, reinforced machine learning and behavioural finance
