hi! i'm sam, a 15 year old builder from the UK. right now i'm focused on algorithmic trading and quantitative strategies. i build, backtest, and deploy automated systems that actually work.
about
i'm samuel cletheroe. i'm 15 and i build things that work. right now that means algorithmic trading systems: backtesting strategies, optimizing parameters, and building automated execution systems.
i've built derivatives platforms, social networks, and various experiments with machine learning. most things end up archived, but each one teaches me something useful. i focus on shipping fast, testing rigorously, and iterating based on data.
if you're working on something interesting in quant finance, trading systems, or just building ambitious projects, i'm always happy to chat.
