I design, build, and stress-test algorithmic trading systems for Forex and crypto; hold certified funded trader status ($75K); and have experience in digital marketing, operations, and client-facing roles. Skilled in Python, MQL5, backtesting, and analytics, I am seeking opportunities to apply both technical and business skills.
