Dreaming of a world without scarcity.

👋 Hi, I’m Ethan!

I’m a quantitative trader at an options market maker in Chicago. Previously, I modeled nuclear waste shipping networks for the federal government, ran data analytics for the Dallas Mavericks, and managed tooling at Jane Street.

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Chicago. While in college, I competed extensively in parliamentary debate, and I now coach the Stanford Debate Society.
