RΞCURSION

Carlvin Jerry Mwange

Quantitative Developer at Innova Ltd.

I write about quantitative finance, functional programming, and the strange loops between code, markets, work, and life. RΞCURSION is where technical notes, models, and reflective essays meet: a working notebook for systems, risk, and the habits that shape better decisions.

Master of Science in Financial Engineering

Consulting

Turn complex data questions into usable systems.

I work with teams that need more than a dashboard screenshot: quant research that can be explained, data applications people can operate, and decision-support tools that survive contact with real workflows.
