Bio

Sam is the co-founder and CTO of Paradome. He worked for three years at Jane Street on the options trading desk writing algorithmic strategies using applied ML, for two years in NYC and then one year in Hong Kong, where he built out a satellite dev team for the Asia options markets. He graduated with a BS in Computer Science from CMU, where for some reason he led a fledging constitutional law debate team, never to victory though frequently to Ohio.
