Experience

Quantitative Research Intern, DataBallR (May 2026 - present)

• Daily RAPM, a public multi-league player valuation model at andrewjparkus.github.io.
• Designed a Kalman rating model that grades 10,681 college, G League and NBA players on the same scale.
• Led the 2026-27 season projection: player minutes, team depth charts, rotations and games missed each get their own model rather than one black box that prints a number.
• Improved on the Vegas closing line for NBA game margins by blending the ratings into it; over 12,034 games and 12 held-out seasons the fit put about 30% of its weight on the model.

PRUV Research Fellow, Duke Mathematics (April 2025 - present)

• Senior thesis under Professor J. Thomas Beale; manuscript in preparation.
• Modeled atmospheric flow on rapidly spinning brown dwarfs, which bulge out of the spherical shape nearly every current paper in the field assumes.
• Directed a 4,500-line Julia solver that puts the shallow-water equations on those non-spherical figures using Beale's surface discretization, verified against exact solutions to second-order spatial accuracy; the rotational signal came out thousands of times stronger than the sphere predicts.

Projects

Prediction-Market Trading & Election Forecasting (June 2022 - present)

• Founded and led a seven-person team that built a U.S. election model on precinct returns back to 1912.
• Built a portfolio optimizer over it, sizing positions with fractional Kelly and hedging the national environment; traded the book on Polymarket and Kalshi across presidential, Senate, House and gubernatorial races.

Duke Poker Club, Founder & President (January 2025 - present)

• Re-launched the club to 100+ members, secured a collegiate Kalshi partnership and trained the intercollegiate tournament team.
• Interviewed by The Wall Street Journal on college poker and prediction markets.
