About Siddharth Rathinam

As a high school junior, I build and optimize automated trading systems that combine technical precision with disciplined risk management. My custom Pine Script strategies, executed through TradingView, Alpaca, and Tradovate, are designed for scalping efficiency and sustainable returns. Recently, I developed an EA that runs on MT4 using my own quantitative strategies, consistently generating 40% monthly ROI. This project taught me as much about managing risk and testing assumptions as it did about market dynamics.I’m currently working on a fintech startup that has gained significant support and momentum, and we’re aiming to launch soon. Building something from the ground up has been an incredible learning experience in everything from product development to building the right team.This technical expertise naturally extends into my role as founder and leader of my school’s DECA chapter, where I work to connect finance education with real-world market applications. I love creating opportunities for my peers to explore what’s actually happening in markets, not just what’s in textbooks.Beyond finance, I’ve earned multiple VEX IQ championship titles and competed at the world level in robotics competitions. What excites me most now is designing and leading robotics programs for younger students. Watching them light up when they solve a problem they thought was impossible never gets old.Looking ahead, I’m focused on building scalable impact in three areas:Finance: Deepening my analytical and modeling skills to drive smart investment decisions and create real value through rigorous deal analysisEducation: Creating platforms that bridge theory and practice, making financial literacy accessible and engagingCommunity: Launching ventures that prioritize ethical automation and bring sophisticated tools to more peopleI thrive in detail-oriented, high-performance environments where continuous learning is the norm. I approach every project with technical rigor and critical thinking, always asking “how can this create measurable value?” These are the same qualities I know are essential in investment banking and private equity, and I’m eager to develop them further at a world-class institution and contribute to teams at leading firms known for their culture of excellence and innovation.Let’s build the future of finance together
