That's exactly 10km from where i live. In that case I can print my homework and put this in your mailbox instead of using the 'Dropbox' ;)

Hello everyone - my name is Sebastian - I am excited to virtually meet you all and learn C++!

Objective: Learn C++ in order to improve my programming skills and gain admission to the MFE program

Programming Experience: Have taught myself python to an intermediate level over the past few months - had previously taught myself a bit of kdb/q at my previous job but my new one doesn't use it and so that's mostly been forgotten (but I miss the language)

Current Work: Trader at a hedge fund in NYC - was previously a trader at a bank before this

Intended Pace: My goal is to finish this before the end of the year so that I can apply it to my current work and take the advanced course

Hi everyone, here is Anna, glad to join you guys!

Objective: Learn how to develop trading strategies and do analysis related in C++ for both work and the MFE program.

Current Work: Crypto trading

Intended pace: Hopefully can get it done by January.
