ABOUT ME!
Hi there! I'm Pranay Subramanian, a passionate CFM student at the University of Waterloo. I'm currently a First Year, in my 1B term, and have been greatly invested in growing my skillset, knowledge base, and experience in the ever vital fields of SWE, Finance, and Data Science. One of my current fascinations and areas of work has been exploring ML development, and application of ML to create strong, real world financial models!
When I'm not analyzing markets, deep into a VS Code window for a project like this, or late night grinding for my next assessment, you can find me playing basketball, watching F1, out in nature hiking, or spending time with friends and family!
