Hi everyone, my name is Trajan and I'm a rising undergrad senior (CS & math majors) interested in applying to MFE programs. I hope to start working as a quant in 2027 after graduating with my MS. This course will help me solidify my foundation for MFE programs and eventually apply to quant internships and full time positions. I intend to complete the course over the summer before I start my senior year in late August.

Moved to the US in 2018 to pursue my MBA at UT Austin - McCombs School of Business. I'm looking to transition to quant finance and hoping this course will be a good start to begin my journey.
