Welcome to the Option Pricing App! This web application is designed for anyone interested in option pricing models and serves as a fun way to combine a passion for finance and coding.
My name is Stepan Popov, and I have finished my Master of Financial Risk Management (MFRM) at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. My journey into the world of finance and coding began with a double major Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Real Estate followed by 1 year of coursework for Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Florida International University.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked at Scotiabank as a Research Student, focusing on risk management and financial analysis. My experience across various roles helped me develop strong analytical and technical skills. As a CFA Level III candidate, I constantly strive to deepen my knowledge of markets and quantitative analysis.
This app was built as a personal project to enhance my understanding of finance and programming. It allows me to explore different option pricing models, such as Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo simulations, and Binomial Trees, while sharpening my technical skills.
I’ve always been passionate about the intersection of financial theory and technology. Building this project has allowed me to apply what I've learned in both areas. The app reflects my desire to learn by doing.
Aside from my professional work, I enjoy outdoor adventures, including hiking—having trekked 120 kilometers over two weeks with just a backpack. I also love learning new languages, with Spanish being my latest challenge. Volunteering is another passion of mine, and I always seek opportunities to give back to the community.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope this project sparks your curiosity in both finance and technology!
