Dhruv Jani

Hi, I’m Dhruv. I recently graduated from Columbia University with a Master’s in Operations Research & Analytics. I started out broadly in data science and optimization, but over time I’ve found myself increasingly interested in quantitative finance and how mathematical models can be used to understand and navigate markets.

I’ve worked on a mix of ML and research-driven projects with organizations like Apple, NIH, and UC Davis. Right now, I’m focused on building my skills in financial modeling, data-driven strategy, and applying what I know to more market-oriented problems.

Outside of work, I play the piano and follow cricket—both keep me grounded when things get intense.
