UCLA · Financial Actuarial Mathematics
I'm a Financial Actuarial Mathematics student at UCLA, with a Specialization in Computing. I model risk, probability, and financial solvency by day, and build side projects on a Raspberry Pi by night.
This site is a bit of both. There's my résumé, a few things I've built, and a Monte Carlo simulator you can actually play with.
The lab
A Monte Carlo engine for risk of ruin, adapted from my Blackjack project. There's also a bond calculator I built while studying for Exam FM.

Everything from the PDF, but searchable. Type "budget" and see how many spreadsheets I've lived in.

This whole site runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 through a Cloudflare Tunnel. You can check how hot it's running right now.

Yes, and more often than you'd think. For even-money bets where you win with probability p and start with B betting units, the classic gambler's-ruin result gives your odds of ever hitting zero:
RoR = ((1 − p) / p)B
Drag the sliders. A 1% edge feels safe right up until you shrink the bankroll.
