I write code that occasionally works, build models that lose money in ways that would impress a statistician, and one day I'll found something that does all three and actually ships. The bar is low. I will clear it.

By day I'm debugging algorithms and pretending I understand quant finance. By night I'm getting choked unconscious by people who definitely don't know what a Sharpe ratio is. I lose a lot. I also show up the next day, which turns out to be most of the battle.

Most developers drink coffee to ship features. I drink it to remember my own name after sparring. The code still gets pushed. The models still run. The fight still happens. Badly sometimes, but it happens.

Currently breaking things in the gym, the markets, and production. My win rate across all three is a work in progress. It is, however, progressing.
