Hi, I'm Hamzeh.
Building AI
That Works.

I'm a Software Engineer at Cresset Capital in Chicago, where I work across the AI stack—from training teams and building custom solutions to vendor collaboration and compliance monitoring. I recently graduated with honors from Harvard University, where I studied Computer Science and Statistics and wrote my senior thesis on cross-market economic spillovers between the U.S. and Chinese stock markets.

Cross-Market Signals: Economic Spillovers Across Markets

This thesis investigates the interconnectedness of the U.S. and Chinese stock markets, analyzing how macroeconomic factors from one country affect the equity returns of the other. Using statistical and machine learning models on the Jensen, Kelly, and Pedersen Global Factors dataset, the study finds strong spillover effects from the U.S. to China, but minimal effects in the reverse direction.
