I am a scientist turned quantitative finance professional. My first finance job involved leading a quantitative analytics team for market risk management. Currently, I work in developing, deploying and integrating pricing models and tools for exotic products across all asset classes.
In my free time, I write columns and articles for newspapers, magazines and professional journals. I am a regular columnist for the Today paper in Singapore and the Wilmott Magazine. My articles are collated in http://TheUnrealUniverse.com/column.shtml
