Directed a high-frequency trading operation focused on Futures Market, leveraging advanced statistical modeling and behavioral data to manage risk and capital allocation in volatile market regimes.

• Behavioral Modeling & Pattern Recognition: Engineered frameworks to decode market participant psychology through high-frequency order flow analysis; identified "trap" patterns and liquidity shifts to optimize entry/exit strategies—directly analogous to digital product funnel optimization.
• Experimental Design & Backtesting: Designed and executed 5,000+ simulated experiments (backtests) using Python/SQL to validate hypotheses. Applied rigorous statistical controls to prevent over-fitting, ensuring model scalability across different market regimes.
• Data Governance & Integrity: Built an end-to-end data pipeline to aggregate disparate market feeds and trade execution data. Established "post-mortem" root-cause analysis protocols to investigate performance anomalies and ensure 99.8% data accuracy.
• KPI Framework Development: Defined and monitored a sophisticated suite of success metrics (Sharpe Ratio, Expectancy, Max Drawdown) to evaluate strategy health; translated complex technical signals into actionable, risk-adjusted daily strategic plans.
• Strategic Leadership: Acted as a "squad of one," managing the full data lifecycle from ingestion to insight. Mentored a cohort of independent traders on technical analysis and risk management best practices.

Directed operations for a diverse portfolio of high-volume hospitality concepts (Restaurants, Bars, Coffee Shops), overseeing $10 Million in annual revenue while navigating the stringent regulatory environment of a major international travel hub.

• Predictive Resource Optimization: Leveraged flight schedule data and historical foot-traffic patterns to engineer complex labor schedules and inventory orders; successfully synchronized supply with volatile, time-sensitive demand spikes.
• Regulatory Compliance & Governance: Ensured 100% adherence to FAA, TSA, and local health department regulations. Managed rigorous audit cycles and security protocols, establishing a "culture of compliance" similar to data privacy and security standards.
• Operational Scale & Logistics: Orchestrated end-to-end inventory management for a multi-unit cohort, implementing tracking systems to reduce waste and optimize supply chain efficiency within a highly restricted "airside" environment.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Managed a diverse team of over 100 employees across multiple locations; translated corporate performance goals into actionable front-line SOPs to maintain elite customer service ratings.
• Crisis Management & Rapid Decision-Making: Resolved complex operational bottlenecks in real-time—ranging from supply chain failures to high-pressure staffing shortages—maintaining 24/7 business continuity.
