• 13 years ago I was on a path to becoming a researcher in astronomy then made the decision to pursue a career in quantitative trading. 

• Whether that decision was the right one remains to be seen :) 

• Throughout my career in finance, I have worked in top-tier financial institutions including Bloomberg LP, Millennium Capital Partners, and most recently Citadel Securities. I then went on to assemble my own team with an aim at applying the theories and techniques taught in the field of astrophysics onto the challenging world of trading. 

• For that purpose, I have assembled a small yet powerful team of like-minded gurus and have built a strictly meritocracy-based environment where nothing gets in the way of achieving competitive trading performance while not doing what everybody else is doing - we build our own unique and uncorrelated alphas and a research infrastructure that enables constant innovations. 

Oh and once we beat the market, we'll go back to researching astronomy and saving mankind :)

• The book was written at a time when the crypto space was filled with rug pulls and unpredictable patterns on market and credit risks of cryptocurrencies. We came up with quantitative models that can measure those kinds of risks systematically, based on which we have actually traded. 

• Release of the book was an attempt to share part of what we do as a research lab and to assist those who are in need of a systematic solution to measuring crypto risks. 

• Link to the Amazon page of the book down below in case you want a peek into our works. 

• Questions and consultancy requests are welcome.
