Asher Wang / Jamison, PA
Product-driven builder with a deep interest in quantitative risk architecture.
I build products end to end and do research where the data gets hard. Now: MiniMap, real-time spatial intelligence for first responders. Before that, I founded Fireside Furnishings, a retail and private label company with hundreds of monthly purchases, and led first-author research on financials and precision theranostics.
Open to a winter internship: product, quant-curious
Highlights
Work
Interests
What I think about when I’m not building: mostly where product decisions and risk math meet.
-
01
Portfolio margin and scenario risk Quant
How one worst-case grid of spot and volatility shocks can replace a stack of per-position rules, and where it breaks: correlated alts, gap moves, thin books.
-
02
Making options legible Product
Showing payoff, Greeks and margin impact before a trader hits submit, so a volatility surface reads as a decision instead of a wall of numbers.
-
03
Collateral and liquidation design Quant · Product
Cross-asset haircuts, partial liquidations, and how every risk parameter eventually shows up as something a user feels.
-
04
Market structure Quant
Orderbooks versus block RFQ for multi-leg trades: who gets filled, at what price, and what the venue learns from the flow.
-
05
Default as tail risk Research
My student-loan paper is a credit-risk problem in disguise: who defaults, when, and which observable features show up first.
-
06
Verifiable, private computation Technical
From the confidential computing in Arnor to zero-knowledge proofs settling trades on Ethereum: proving a system did the right thing without exposing the data.
