About Me

A Brief Introduction

I'm Mateo Florsheim, currently pursuing a B.S. in Professional Flight Technology and a dual Business degree at Purdue University. I've been actively managing my personal portfolio since 2018 and studying quantitative trading systems since 2020.

My work sits at the intersection of finance, data science, and technology. I build Python-based trading models, research machine learning applications in markets, and advise individuals in unprofessional environments; all while pursuing a Private Pilot's License on the side. I plan on continuing my journey by working on personal real-world projects, conducting research forex markets with Archimedes Club, conducting individual research papers on specific industries, and learning new skills like C++ and data scraping to further my trading and technical capabilities.

I thrive on connecting with leaders in finance and tech, and I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute, learn, and grow.
