Summary
I am currently working as a Quant at a major securities company in Japan. In my recent role, I have been involved in developing a common infrastructure for performing trade valuation, risk measurement, scenario simulation, and other related tasks. I find great satisfaction in abstracting complex business problems and translating them into code, automating processes, and providing solutions.
Since my university days, I have had a keen interest in programming, and I have been working as a programmer since then. During the latter part of my university studies, I developed an interest in the field of finance and accounting, and I have been working as an engineer in that domain. In my graduate studies, I specialized in mathematical optimization, with a particular focus on utilizing machine learning for portfolio optimization.
