Description
About:
I spent last summer as a quant trading intern at Citadel Securities on the Block and FICC teams. There, I designed systematic strategies to trade index spreads and price HYG vol, respectively.
I'm the former cofounder of VO2: backed by Techstars, Rough Draft Ventures, and Eberg Capital, sold to Divider in Feb 2023.
I'm trying to learn more about ML/RL, math, and commodities.
I enjoy prediction markets, sports betting, and trading crypto vol. In my free time, I love hiking, playing squash, and skiing.
In high school, I competed for the USA Debate Team, wrote a script that got me banned from Twitter, and helped create Karachi's first public debate league. If you want to reach out, contact me at arham.habib@gmail.com.
