Field Notes on Chaos was created to define and defend an investment philosophy that moves beyond modern portfolio theory to what I define as complexity portfolio theory. I contend that this will be the future of portfolio management practices and my success at implementing this in practice will demonstrate the value of the approach. Interested parties are welcome to learn more about my investment philosophy through the blog.
Subscribers will get access to one thought-provoking chapter-length essay on the first of every month. My goal is to bring a blend of intellectual rigour and philosophical inquiry to each topic. I try to focus on storytelling to tell interdisciplinary stories that can be understood without a background in finance or science.

Author Biography
I am a scientist/engineer focused on capturing excess returns through a systematic, quantitative, and teleological approach. I have been focused on the dynamics of chaos since 2015, shortly after completing graduate work at the University of Central Florida where I earned a Masters in Materials Science and Engineering. I have been trading markets full-time since 2018 and have found the dynamics of price movements to be a critically important test bed for developing and testing theories related to the nature of chaotic systems. Please note, I am familiar with the standards of quant practice in the markets, and as such, I do not consider myself to be a quant (or a technical analyst). The methods and practices I have found to be the most profitable have been developed from first principles and have little resemblance to published quant methods.
