Since then, I have been imagining myself disappearing from Sydney for 3 months to learn how to exploit the markets. I have a strong interest in \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/ml}{Machine Learning} and have been writing Python code \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/ccs/programming/languages/python}{daily} for \(\approx 200\) days. I\footnote{by December 2025} have completed every AI course excluding NLP at UNSW, and have read \(\approx 50\) \href{https://abaj.ai/words/papers}{papers} on the subject. Furthermore, I am a \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/mathematics}{Mathematician} by training and have taken courses in \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/mathematics/optimisation}{Optimisation Theory} and \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/mathematics/probability}{Probabilistic} and \href{https://abaj.ai/projects/mathematics/statistics}{Statistical Inference}. As such I strongly believe that my skill set coupled with Jane Street's mentorship will yield a competent and effective Quantitative Trader / Developer. Additionally, I play \href{https://www.youtube.com/live/a3TmqezcRnQ?si=MR69lRFyFNvSZ3fW&t=5045}{competitive} and \href{https://afda.com/previous-u22-national-championships}{representative} team sport; implying that I perform well in high-stakes environments and thrive in \emph{don't shit the bed} situations. Finally, I manage my own modest \(~60\)k AUD portfolio and have lost \(~5k\) trading options. I have also implemented an OCaml Black-Scholes pricing front-end and back-end \href{https://abaj.trades}{here} for the benefit of impressing Jane Street. \flushleft Regards, Aayush \end{document}
