Mark Brezina – Projects Overview

This is my personal github, usually used for job applications and general work.
Repos may be sporadically updated, as I proceed forward with one of my many pastime projects.
You can also find my quant-related portfolio here

🔹 Quant Research & Trading Systems

Core building blocks for systematic trading — research → portfolio construction → execution.

  • Foundational Quantitative Research(Start here)
    Research notes and papers outlining a layered systematic trading framework (signals → portfolio construction → execution/risk), with extensions to market-making and broader financial primitives (insurance, banking).

  • Market States & Regimes(market-states)
    HMM/HSMM-style regime labeling, change-point / structural-break detection, volatility clustering, transition probabilities, regime-conditioned features.

  • Alpha Research & Backtesting(backtest-engine)
    Signal library + walk-forward validation, portfolio-level simulation, transaction cost + turnover constraints, performance attribution & experiment tracking.

  • Portfolio Construction & Risk(portfolio-risk)
    Covariance/risk models (EWMA/shrinkage), vol targeting, factor exposures, VaR/CVaR, stress & scenario analysis, leverage/liquidity/concentration constraints.

  • Execution & Microstructure Simulation(execution-sim)
    Slippage/spread/impact models, participation logic, order simulation, and robustness checks bridging research ↔ production.

Each repository is modular, documented, and includes reproducible examples (notebooks/scripts) plus tests.

🧪 Curiosity Lab (for fun)

Side experiments that sharpen my intuition for complex systems — physics, markets, and populations.

  • N-Body Astrophysics — gravitational multi-body simulations (stability, orbits, emergent structure)
  • Particle Streams — interacting particle flows; noise, clustering, boundary effects
  • Virtual Economies — auction-house microstructure experiments in World of Warcraft and New World (liquidity, information asymmetry, price impact)
  • Population Dynamics — agent-based models (wealth/skill/luck, resource constraints, epidemic SIR-style dynamics)
