Hi, I'm Arya Somu.

I’m a researcher and engineer broadly interested in AI, high-performance systems, and applied math & statistics.

I've built a global macro fund, state-of-the-art decentralized exchange infrastructure, and have worked on volatility arbitrage, MBS convexity hedging, AI agent development, as well as applied astrophysics at systematic trading firms and research labs.

You can browse my writing here, my library here, and some more experiments here. If you are looking to break into quantitative finance, this page might be useful. If you'd like to reach out, find me on X at @arrrrrryaa, or email me at aryasomu@umail.ucsb.eduGo Gauchos!.
