About Me

Martin Mayer-Krebs
Quantitative Developer

In addition to having an academic background in economic modeling and financial engineering, I have years of industry experience working as a quantitative developer.

I enjoy creating educational resources in my free time. Sometimes I even consider these to be good enough to share with the community.
