Karl Kareem Melaimi

Aspect Capital

I have interned across the Investment Solutions Team, Volatility Research team and Systematic Global Macro team and recieved an offer to return as a Quantitative Researcher!

Tudor Investment Corp

My wondrous crash into finance! I had a great time learning and developing tools for the Risk team at Tudor.

I also got a chance to meet Paul Tudor Jones II and sit in an investor call which was an incredibly insightful experience.

Kaiku

This was a good run; I started as a front end developer, until we realised we needed more than just me to bring out a whole platform to host start-ups! I had a really great time helping to host quite a few events and interview even more entrepreneurs to put together a comprehensive set of educational videos/events for start-ups.

Bloomberg

I spent a year at Bloomberg in the Economics team within Global Data. I honestly feel blessed to have worked with wonderful people at every step of my career and this is no exception.

As my first real job it took a while to get used to the workflow of my team, but overtime I made my mark as a productive employee and was even offered a full time role at the end of it! (My african parents did not seem so keen on me skipping university though aha)

Imperial College London

Take a look at my project (specification) which seeks to effectively model the stock market using Knowledge Graphs!

Grade? Too bad to be published, but I will improve massively this year! 67.7%!

I'll be honest guys, I took my first 2 years here for granted, hence my poor grades. I'm doing a good job now, but I've realised that I'd like to be truly world class in something; this may mean taking time to get a PhD and refine my skills OR it may mean working somewhere whilst refining my skills... This likely depends on which companies would like to hire me!
