AKHILESH NARAYAN

🔢📈⚡ Greetings from the world of numbers, strategy, and the thrill of financial markets! ⚡📈🔢

Hey there! 👋 As I navigate the intricate world of quantitative finance, allow me to introduce myself. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Financial Mathematics at the University of Chicago, backed by a scholarship. My passion lies in the interplay of mathematics, probability, and financial markets, where analytical rigor meets real-world decision-making.

🔍 Professionally, I am deeply fascinated by Quantitative Research and Trading, where mathematical models, machine learning, and economic theory come together to unlock market insights. I am actively seeking a Summer 2025 internship in quant research or trading roles, where I can leverage my expertise in linear algebra, probability, statistics, game theory, machine learning, and economics to drive impactful solutions.

📊 Past Experience & Research:

University of Toronto: Conducted research in portfolio optimization, culminating in a publication in the Operations Research Forum.
IIT Bombay Racing Team: Served as an engineer and driver, representing the team at Formula Student UK at the Silverstone Racing Circuit—a highlight of my journey in engineering and teamwork.

⚽🏸 Beyond Finance:
Beyond numbers, my passion for sports and strategic thinking keeps me engaged. I play soccer and badminton at the University of Chicago, where I enjoy the fast-paced intensity of the game. I also love the strategic depth of poker, frequently playing with my classmates and friends in Chicago, honing my ability to analyze risk, probability, and decision-making under pressure.

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, cheering for Lionel Messi, and experiencing the 2023 F1 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal - moments that reinforced my love for sports and high-performance strategy.

Scaling the majestic Kedarkantha Peak in December 2021 at an altitude of 12,500 ft and in the peak of winter 🏔️ was a testament to my determination and love for challenges. The breathtaking views and the sense of accomplishment from conquering nature's marvel were truly humbling.

So, whether I'm deciphering equations, delving into data, or embarking on journeys that teach me the art of victory and resilience, each step of my adventure is as exhilarating as the last. 🌍🚀

🌍 Giving Back:
Beyond academics and finance, I have always been committed to education and mentorship. I volunteered with No Help Too Big, an NGO providing free education to underprivileged children in tribal regions across India, and conducted a Math Workshop in collaboration with the Raising a Mathematician Foundation and MENSA Project Dhruv.

🚀 Looking Ahead:
I am eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals and contribute to innovative, data-driven strategies in finance. Whether it’s developing quantitative models, optimizing trading strategies, or exploring new frontiers in machine learning, I am driven by the challenge of turning complex data into actionable insights.

Let’s connect and explore opportunities in the exciting world of quantitative finance!
