Hey, I'm Pavel - Quant Product Lead in London (UK Global Talent) with an MSc in Probability Theory and a background in math education.
I've worked across the spectrum: Founder of OSINT data startup (partially sold), worked at BigTech, and spent time at investment firms, bank, brokers. Seen enough to know what different paths actually look like day-to-day.
I can help you:
- Career: Transition from SWE/ML/Analytics → Product Management (more interesting/cross-functional)
- Career: Switch into quant/trading/HFT (more money)
- Business consultation: Data-Centric businesses/problems. I help diagnose what's broken and give honest advice on pivot vs. quit decisions. Real talk, no BS.
- Investment education: I will explain investments with a practical focus. Risk management, portfolio math, probability theory.
