Tyler Park

I study Financial Engineering with minors in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Columbia. Most of my time goes toward understanding markets, building technical products, and figuring out where better models can improve real decisions.

I grew up in Los Angeles and now live in New York. Outside work, I play soccer and jazz piano, write essays, follow Tottenham and the Spurs, and continue a martial-arts practice that began more than a decade ago.

I love books. Reading is how I slow down, follow an idea past the headline, and find connections between fields that usually stay separate.
