Hi all!

Here is my LinkedIn info. I just completed a postgraduate certificate program (UT-Austin, AI & Machine Learning for Business Applications), so I'm hoping to bring coding momentum into C++ from a recent focus on Python. I've worked for years on Wall St in lower Manhattan, and also in the banking industry on Long Island, following an Economics degree from NYU.

I may try to concurrently obtain the Quantitative Finance MicroMasters through MIT, and am moving towards quantitative developer job opportunities. I also currently have an intense interest for blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency space.

Hi, I am working for a bank in Quantitative Valuations team and we recently switched our derivatives pricing/ risk sensitivity library from licensed software to opensource software called ORE. The source code of ORE is written in C++ and as such would like gain experience in C++ to extend it further

Objective: Gain C++ knowledge for derivative pricing library development
Programming Experience: R,Python,VBA, SQL
Current work: Risk Modelling/Derivative Pricing at a Bank
Intended Pace: As soon as possible

Cool.
The course has two modules on Monte Carlo and PDE/FDM option pricing numerics/code which might be useful.
