I was a coach in this first year edition of the hackathon and from my vantage point I found it was a great initiative well executed. I am proud to have been part of it. I would have dreamed as a student in quantitative methods to have the opportunity to participate in this type of event.

I had the pleasure and privilege of participating in the first asset management hackathon as a mentor to the Quantum Alpha team. I am proud of the results achieved by the team and remain confident that this experience will help them in their professional and academic careers.

I had the privilege of mentoring Team Alpine Edge during the inaugural McGill-FIAM Asset Management Hackathon. Alpine Edge was comprised of students from different institutions, studying different disciplines, and from varied backgrounds. I witnessed the team come together under intense competitive and time pressures to deliver an impressive end product. I am proud of the effort they put forth and know that they will grow from the experiences garnered in this event.

Being a coach at the event was an incredibly rewarding experience, offering the opportunity to witness brilliant students working hard to develop creative and impactful quantitative solutions. Their energy, originality, and dedication were truly inspiring.

I had the privilege of participating as an industry mentor during the asset management hackathon, where I coached the QUARCC team. Their motivation and commitment were evident from the start of the competition. The members of QUARCC not only demonstrated a solid theoretical understanding but also showed remarkable creativity in developing their model. I am extremely proud of the results they achieved, securing second place in the competition. Their exemplary attitude and team spirit leave me confident that this experience will be a valuable asset in their professional and academic careers.
