About this author

edit data

I'm a recovering physicist currently working as a quant.

I run a blog about personal finance and have published one book about the same topic.

I'm currently working on an investment book, a beginner's book on financial independence, and a book on ethics.

I've also written a chapter in a book about peak oil, some creative stories for an ezine, and about 30 papers in academic journals mostly concerning subtleties about neutron stars.
