Great to meet you! I’m Tim Li, currently pursuing a Master of Financial Engineering at Columbia University. I previously graduated from UCLA, where I majored in Mathematics & Economics with a 3.8 GPA. My academic journey has equipped me with strong technical skills in Python, machine learning, feature engineering, and financial modeling and practical experience using platforms like eVestment, DealCloud, and Bloomberg.In terms of industry experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various roles, including as a Quantitative Research Intern at a quantitative hedge fund, where I developed and back-tested alpha factors. I’ve also interned at PIMCO, focusing on quantitative strategies for hedge funds, and at CriticalPoint Partners, where I was involved in investment banking M&A advisory.I’m actively seeking summer internships in 2025 in investment, market research, or quantitative finance, particularly in quantitative research, trading, risk management, and portfolio management. I am also exploring positions that would allow me to apply my background to solve business challenges. If you know of any exciting opportunities or want to connect further, please feel free to reach out!
