About Shiraz

Bio

Hi, I'm Shiraz!

I'm a statistician and quantitative researcher with over 15 years of experience applying mathematics, statistics, and data analysis in both finance and biomedical research. My professional background includes building forecasting models for an $8 billion hedge fund, conducting statistical genetics research at Columbia University and Mount Sinai, and working as a biostatistician and bioinformatician in academic medicine.

Hi, I'm Shiraz!

I'm a statistician and quantitative researcher with over 15 years of experience applying mathematics, statistics, and data analysis in both finance and biomedical research. My professional background includes building forecasting models for an $8 billion hedge fund, conducting statistical genetics research at Columbia University and Mount Sinai, and working as a biostatistician and bioinformatician in academic medicine.

While I love math and statistics, what I enjoy most is helping students build confidence in subjects that often feel intimidating. I have extensive mentoring experience working with high school and college students, including through charter school programs such as KIPP and college-access and career-readiness organizations like America Needs You (New York Chapter). I've also mentored graduate students and early-career researchers, helping them develop analytical skills and communicate complex ideas effectively.

I tutor high school algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, and introductory calculus, as well as college-level statistics, probability, and quantitative methods. My approach is patient, practical, and focused on understanding—not memorization. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working through a challenging course, or trying to strengthen your quantitative foundation, I'll meet you where you are and help you make steady progress.

My goal is simple: help you understand the material, gain confidence, and become a more independent problem solver.

Approved Subjects

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I am a biostatistician and quantitative researcher with more than 15 years of experience applying statistics, probability, and data analysis across finance, genomics, and biomedical research. My work has included developing predictive models for an $8 billion hedge fund, conducting statistical genetics research at Columbia University and Mount Sinai, and supporting study design and data analysis as a professional biostatistician. I hold an M.S. in Financial Analytics and regularly use statistical methods including regression, hypothesis testing, experimental design, survival analysis, and machine learning. I enjoy helping students move beyond memorization to develop a deeper understanding of statistical concepts and quantitative reasoning.
Business

Business

I was a graduate of the Wells Fargo Securities and Investment (SIG) analyst program. I have worked in data modeling as a sell-side equity research associate and a buy-side investment analysis as well.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I am a data analyst and computational scientist with 15 years of quantitative analytics experience, including 6 years working with large-scale, high-dimensional datasets. I am experienced in statistical analysis, exploratory data analysis, data integration, machine learning, network analysis, and developing reproducible analytical workflows. Additionally, I am skilled at translating complex datasets into actionable insights and communicating results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

For two years, I led a career development program where I worked one-on-one with 50–100 young adults, helping them move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to having clear, workable plans they could actually follow through on. While my official focus was career development, the real work — session after session — was executive functioning support: helping people manage their time (Pomodoro technique), break down intimidating goals into doable steps, stay accountable, and push through motivation and focus struggles that had nothing to do with skill or intelligence and everything to do with how their brain organizes tasks.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As program manager, I oversaw bi-monthly workshops focused on career development for high school and college students. Lesson included resume review and interview prep of all industries. In addition, I currently conduct coding interviews as part of my job when we interview candidates to join our firm.
SAT Math

SAT Math

710 score consistently on both practice tests as well as my official SAT score.
STATA

STATA

Stata is one of the most widely used statistical software packages in biostatistics, particularly in epidemiology, public health, clinical research, and health economics. Biostatisticians use Stata to summarize patient/population data — means, medians, frequencies, cross-tabulations and to check distributions, missing data patterns, and outliers before modeling. As a biostatistician, I am very familiar with this software.
