Selected Work
Davids Archive
A personal reading archive I use every morning. Save a link from any device and it is scraped, summarized, and tagged, so keeping something costs nothing more than deciding to keep it, and across 73 saved sources the rule that shapes everything is that the model does the cataloging and I do the writing.

Startup Idea Validator
Type one sentence describing an idea and get a competitive landscape back in under 90 seconds, built from live search across Tavily, Product Hunt, and YC rather than from whatever the model remembers. It ends on one ranked wedge with the evidence behind it.

Lokin
A platform for student founders to find collaborators, co-founded at UW-Madison and grown to 500+ signups. Only 5% of signups were finishing a profile, so I rebuilt onboarding from six steps to three and completion went to 50%.
I'm a data scientist at TP ICAP and build AI/ML tools for financial brokers. This means translating front-office workflow problems into working systems for liquidity discovery and broker decision support. My other contributions have included order-routing automation and contract-pricing improvements.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison where I studied Data Science and Economics. As a student, I co-founded Lokin, a digital hub for student builders; we grew it from zero to 500+ signups in the first months after launch. I am most interested in technical deployment strategy work that combines customer context, commercial judgment, and hands-on building.
Outside of work, I've built an AI reading archive that helps address knowledge comprehension and digital curation. Everything I upload is chunked, embedded, and searchable. My startup idea-validation system helps me quickly test and evaluate product ideas, so I can stay up to date with current products and filter out weak concepts before investing time.
Experience
Selected for a desk-embedded AI deployment mandate to translate front-office workflow problems into production AI/ML systems spanning pricing, order routing, liquidity discovery, and real-time broker decision support.
Provide real-time price discovery and market intelligence on G10 FX options while building data products and internal tools for the desk.
Rotated across five desks spanning equities, fixed income, rates, and FX before returning to the FX options desk full time.
Built the product from zero on a founding team of four, covering user research, roadmap decisions, and the full technical stack.
Analyzed post-trade execution costs for institutional equity portfolios in Python and SQL, isolating slippage and market impact.
