Intro

I'm Ritik Vijayvergiya, currently serving as Vice President at WorldQuant in Old Greenwich. My career has been defined by a deep dive into quantitative research and machine learning, moving from a researcher role to leadership within the firm. With a technical foundation from IIT Delhi in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, I’ve developed a passion for building complex systems—whether that’s ML frameworks to model user behavior or resilient IoT architectures for Industrie 4.0. Beyond the technical side, I’m interested in technology entrepreneurship and social enterprise. I’m here to connect with others in the quant and tech space to share expertise in data analysis and financial modeling, and I’m always open to discussing how emerging tech can solve large-scale business challenges.
