Welcome aboard! π€
Iβm Quant Beckham, the mind behind Trading the Breaking! As a quant researcher, I am privileged to currently work at Prosci, a multi-family office, and have also contributed to other innovative ventures, boutique investment firms (multiβstrategy pod shops), and specialized investment platforms that are reshaping the strategic financial landscape.
My mission is straightforward: transform complex data into decisive, actionable strategies. Over the years, Iβve engineered mathematical models, architected scalable systems, and pioneered novel trading methodologies, all with a singular focus: maintaining a competitive edge in financial markets.
Right now, my focus is on building a portfolio of innovative AI and DeFi companies at the forefront of technological and financial transformation. These ventures are pioneering solutions in impact investing, with a focus on neurological healthcareβincluding conditions like ADHD, epilepsy, and OCD.
Over the next three to six years, my goal is to harness the potential of these innovations to improve and maintain sustainable and competitive returns while driving alternative financing for businessesβwithout expensive bank loans or unaffordable mortgages. I'm committed to challenging the limitations of the traditional banking system and paving the way for a more agile and inclusive financial future.
