· Velocity

Zero to patent-pending in five months.

The resume dates aren't padded. This is the real timeline — obsessive focus, hardware built from scratch, research self-directed. Every milestone below is verifiable from git history.

  1. Dec 2025 · First tick

    Opened the markets

    Zero background in quantitative finance. Began self-directed study of market microstructure, walk-forward methodology, and regime conditioning.

  2. Jan–Feb 2026 · Infra

    Built the quant trading stack

    Institutional-grade automated trading system in C# on a Level-2 CME feed. Walk-forward ML pipeline, regime-conditional signals, conservative risk controls.

  3. Mar 2026 · Funded

    Passed TopStep $150K Express

    Live-funded evaluation on a Level-2 CME data feed. Multi-instrument system trading NQ, ES, Gold, and ETH concurrently.

  4. Mar 2026 · Agents

    Athena begins under Sipsa Labs

    Autonomous agentic AI — multi-layer cognitive architecture targeting reasoning and memory. Founded Sipsa Labs as parent company. Internal architecture held privately.

  5. Apr 2026 · Research

    UltraCompress begins

    Novel compression method for large language models. Substantial parameter reduction with preserved downstream performance. Method held privately.

  6. Apr 2026 · IP

    Patent filing initiated

    UltraCompress method formalized for patent filing. Cross-model validation completed on multiple open-weight families. Details private pending filing.

· Projects

Research & projects.

High-level summaries. Specifics — method details, exact metrics, and code — are held privately while IP is under active filing. Ping for NDA-scope conversations.

01 · Python

UltraCompress — LLM Compression Research

Novel neural-network compression. Patent pending; method held privately.

Apr 2026 — Present

Patent pending

  • Novel compression method for large language models that preserves downstream performance with substantial parameter reduction.
  • Validated across multiple open-weight model families without per-model re-tuning.
  • Rigorous evaluation with held-out data, proper baselines, bootstrap confidence intervals, and a pinned reproduction guide.
  • Exact method, metrics, and code held privately while patent is under filing. Available under NDA on request.

Athena — Autonomous Agentic AI (Sipsa Labs)

Multi-layer cognitive architecture for reasoning and memory.

Mar 2026 — Present

Live / internal

  • Agentic AI system under Sipsa Labs, designed around reasoning and long-horizon memory rather than single-shot generation.
  • Integrated with multiple live tool and data services for real-time context.
  • Currently piloted on live data streams; full internal architecture held privately.
  • Founded Sipsa Labs as the parent company for AI and quant ventures.

03 · C#

Multi-Instrument Quant Trading System

Live-funded C# system trading NQ, ES, Gold, and ETH concurrently.

Dec 2025 — Present

Passed TopStep $150K Express

  • Institutional-grade automated trading system trading NQ, ES, Gold, and ETH futures concurrently on a Level-2 CME data feed.
  • Walk-forward ML pipeline with regime-conditional signals, calibrated sizing, and conservative risk controls.
  • Passed the TopStep $150K Express funded-account evaluation on live data.
  • Specific signals, features, and risk logic held privately.
