Marcus Rivera

Marcus Rivera spent seven years in quantitative trading at Jane Street and Citadel Securities before pivoting full-time to prediction markets in 2024. He holds an MS in Financial Engineering from Columbia University and a BS in Mathematics from UC Berkeley. At Bot for Kalshi, Marcus leads strategy research — developing, backtesting, and deploying quantitative models across weather, economic, sports, and political markets. His work focuses on market microstructure, optimal execution, and systematic edge detection in event contract markets. When he's not staring at orderbooks, he's rock climbing in the Gunks or arguing about optimal Kelly fraction at dinner parties.
