stock NYSE

* **Age:** 20
* **Location:** Sweden
* **Current experience:** \~2 years as a full-stack developer at a London-based consultancy (remote), working across real-time platforms, portal development, and assisting senior consultants on client projects. Full agile lifecycle exposure – planning through release, code review, stakeholder communication.
* **Internship:** Completed an internship at a major automotive R&D division (a special industry placement year available after upper secondary), where I built:
* A Python client library for TCP communication with legacy test systems, including a custom parser for data format conversion.
* A CLI tool for project scaffolding with virtual environment setup, RPC generation via templating, and CI automation.
* **Tech stack:** TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, C# (.NET Core), Kotlin; React/Next.js frontend; Node.js/NestJS, Spring Boot, microservices; Docker, Redis, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ; GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
* **Education:** No university degree. Completed high school. Currently considering *fristående kurser* (standalone university courses) in mathematics/statistics as an alternative to a full degree, so I am not stuck in a university (I am gonna be honest I kinda hate studying for non-goal related things).
* **Languages:** English (fluent), Swedish (fluent), Italian (native),
**Current situation:** Actively applying to fintech companies as a stepping stone. Long-term goal is quant dev (not research/trading). Main concern: whether this background + standalone math courses will be enough to avoid automatic CV filtering for quant dev roles later, or if a traditional degree/MFE is effectively mandatory.
