About Me

Hey, I'm Nick Yoder!

I am a mathematician and former quantitative trader. After 15 years on Wall Street, I am now focusing on Mechanistic Interpretability and AI safety.

My goal is to work on Mech Interp at a frontier AI team.

My interests including travel, sailing, motorcycling, and hiking. I am a private pilot and novice OCR athlete.

Before Wall Street, I was a Firefighter for three years.

I attended Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, graduating with degrees in Finance, Mathematics and Engineering.

After college, I moved to New York to join Morgan Stanley as a derivatives trader, eventually running a Dispersion and Exotics desk.

After 6 years at Morgan Stanley, I raised capital and launch my hedge fund.

For fun and networking, I occasionally give lectures on finance, quantum physics, and the mathematics of AI.

This site was made to share travel photos, books and personal essays on science, history, politics, and AI.
