Daniel Arackal
Junior at Texas A&M building quantitative models, cloud infrastructure, and software that turns complex problems into elegant solutions.
About
A little background.
I'm an Industrial Engineering major with a Computer Science minor at Texas A&M University, class of 2027.
My work lives at the intersection of quantitative finance and systems engineering. As a Quantitative Analyst with the Maroon Fund, I build ML models to predict trade signals and design portfolio allocation systems that balance risk and return.
Previously, I interned at Cloudtop Office building server monitoring infrastructure and deploying storage systems. I'm always looking for problems where engineering thinking and code can create tangible impact.
