Projects

Featured projects in quantitative finance, portfolio construction, and systematic investing.

Each project applies quantitative methods to a specific problem in finance — from clustering-based portfolio construction and market regime detection to adaptive portfolio strategies and RRG-based rotation analysis.

Projects include interactive visualizations, source code links, and methodology explanations. Data is updated periodically via automated pipelines.
