Welcome to my web page !

I am  currently student in the MSc of Financial Mathematics at NYU. I am French, 24 and decided to come here after being at the ENSAE in Paris. I live in Soho where I can enjoy the great pubs and restaurants, without being too far from NYU !

I am willing to become a  quantitative trader, a field in which I have some experience as you can see on my resume, and I recently started writing some financial articles.
