Hi, I'm Shashwat, a final-year B.Tech student in Engineering Physics at IIT Guwahati, India, with a strong passion for Quantitative Finance & Trading. I have worked as a Quant & Algo Intern at Futures First Pvt. Ltd. and as a Quantitative Research Consultant Intern at WorldQuant Brain. Currently, I am a Quantitative Researcher at Blockhouse Labs, where I build models to estimate the market impact of trades and reduce transaction costs by creating optimal execution schedules using an ML framework. Previously, I worked as a Research Intern under Prof. Bhavya Sighvi at IIM Udaipur and Prof. Mrityunjay at IIM Lucknow. I am driven by a constant desire to learn about the latest tech and products. Outside of work, you can find me on the football ground or in the gym.
