CS · markets · things I build
hi, I'm Christina ✿
I like problems involving code, markets, people, and an unreasonable number of spreadsheets.
I’m a Yale student studying Computer Science, Economics, and Mathematics. I’m drawn to the places where technology, strategy, and quantitative thinking make each other more interesting.

Trading Bot✿
Jane Street Electronic Trading Challenge
A small trading lab in Python and SQL: market-making and arbitrage bots, an order book to reason about, and just enough simulation to make the strategy feel alive.

- Placed top 5.
- Engineered market-making and arbitrage bots processing 10,000+ trades.
- Improved order-book latency by 80%.
- Deployed three profitable strategies and generated 15% ROI over two hours in the simulation.
What is market making? Quoting both sides of a market and managing the risk between them.
