The Elevator Pitch

I’m a young professional with a passion for business and a focus on investing and technology. I founded Intigril, a personal finance and investing business, in order to help others gain financial independence by using stocks and options to generate long-term wealth and generate a continuous stream of income.

My background lies heavily in the world of software engineering and analytics. I’ve been programming since high school, graduated undergrad with a double major in Computer Science and Systems and Information Engineering, worked as an IT consultant for several years, and even tried my hand at an Internet startup.

Software Development

I’m a technophile at heart. I learned how to program the TI-83 calculator when I was 13, created my first website at 14, learned JavaScript at 15, C++ at 16, and so on and so forth. As I moved forward in my career, I began managing the technical development of various projects. My most significant projects include:

• oGolf – oGolf provides web and mobile applications to help golfers improve their games. I created the website, maintain the database, and worked on some small parts of the app.
• Intigril – Automated nightly stock data compilation, analytical stock reports and rankings, investment articles, and portfolio management tools
• PME – Managed the design, implementation, and testing of an enterprise-wide project management tool
• My Own Six Words – Created a micro-blogging site
• PDS Simulator – Created an engine to simulate computer-to-computer communication for next-generation cars
• Sensor Network Simulator – Created an engine to simulate the behavior of motes in a sensor network

Some of the technologies that I’ve extensively worked with include:

Analytics

I’ve always been a numbers guy. With the right tools and analytical abilities, it’s possible to gain significant insight into the way the world works. I have experience with a wide range of analytical tools, including the following:

• Monte Carlo Simulation
• Multivariate Linear Regression
• Discrete Event Simulation
• Weighted Average Trade Studies
• Discrete and Stochastic Decision Models

Investing

Do you know what the best way for the average American is to get rich? Investing. Over the course of a career, with continuous investment, it’s not hard to become a millionaire by the time you retire. With more aggressive investing, it’s possible to reach that mark even sooner. Despite the great power of investing, many people, especially young professionals, just plain don’t do it.

There could be a lot of reasons for that. Schools generally don’t teach much about investing. Heck, I first learned about its true power during my last semester of college. There is also some level of risk involved, which could be scary for some people. People may also feel like they don’t need to invest, or that the benefit from investing just isn’t that great.

One of my goals is to change the common perceptions and lack of knowledge around the world of investing. Investing in both stocks and options provides a great way to build long-term wealth, achieve financial independence, and even generate income.

Everything Else

Like I said, I graduated undergrad with a double major in Computer Science and Systems and Information Engineering. In addition, I minored in Math. I’m currently a student at NYU’s Stern School of Business working towards my MBA. I’m looking to specialize in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Quantitative Finance, and Financial Systems and Analytics. After graduation, I hope to devote all of my time to growing Intigril.

As far as non-professional things go, my interests are broad. I play the guitar and have written two songs, both unrecorded. I love traveling and have been to more than 30 countries. I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie and have done everything from snorkeling to sky diving to driving a ‘Vette on a race track. I love food, especially Thai and Japanese, but at the same time I’m a huge fitness buff and workout almost daily.
