About Quinton Aguilera:
As an Interest Rate Derivative (IRD) Trader trainee at Société Générale, I honed my focus on G10 interest rate markets and developed my understanding of market making dynamics as they relate to interest rate derivatives, such as swaps and futures. Now, I am looking to apply these skills and leverage my existing experience and education in data science to excel in a more quantitative and/or algorithmic trading environment.
My background is in modelling and outside of work I continue to perform academic research as a data scientist in non-financial fields to stay sharp on modelling and analysis techniques, and for inspiration when working on financial models.
I follow international markets daily, naturally with a focus on G10 interest rates, and use python, JavaScript, SQL and R to perform my analysis.
Experience
IRD Trader - Trainee, Société Générale London
- Closely followed G10 interest rate markets (primarily Fed, ECB, BoE & BoC). This includes writing a summary of overnight market events in Asia and a preview of scheduled central bank speeches
and economic data releases each morning as well as ad hoc requests, for example after a policy rate announcement. - Used Python & JavaScript to develop real-time monitoring tools for interest rate swap strategies. One example is improving a strategy monitor (tracking forward curves and forward flys) to update every 5 seconds where previously it updated once daily.
- Created tools included new summary statistics to reflect movements in relation to historical carry and relative value, helping senior traders make quicker and more informed decisions in a front-office environment.
