Matias Barandiaran
Quantitative Developer
Located in Leipzig, Germany
Born and raised in Lima, Peru, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Lancaster University. I have a strong interest in software development, data engineering, and machine learning. I’ve picked up a lot from my research experience, and I’m excited to bring that into more practical settings.
Lately, I’ve been particularly interested in the crypto space, specifically volatility forecasting of crypto options. I’m now working alongside quants and traders at Ransky Tech, a proprietary trading firm, to help streamline research and contribute to crypto trading strategy.
Outside of coding, I enjoy reading, fishwatching, and badminton. Feel free to explore my website, and if you’d like to connect, you can find my socials and contact info at the bottom of the page!
