Making Quantitative Finance Known.
📩 Open to brand or business deals: johannesmeyer2017@gmail.com

I'm an 18-year-old from Ireland, currently at Stellenbosch High School, and set to study BCom Mathematical Sciences (Financial Risk Management) at Stellenbosch University (2026).

I'm passionate about quantitative finance, programming, and mathematics. I invest and trade independently, focusing on ETF investing and forex trading.

I code mainly in C++ (with an emphasis on high-performance computing, algorithms, and data structures) and also use Python for machine learning and option pricing models.

Host of a podcast where I speak with professionals in the quantitative finance space.
