Jason Strimpel rises at 4 am every day to crank out code and write about python in finance through his amazing weekly newsletter, PyQuantNews. If you haven’t subscribed already, go sign up right now; every week Jason sends out some of the best python code for finance. He’s a former practicing quant and current AWS executive with a busy family life, yet he still manages to craft these instant python classics week in and week out. I had the great pleasure of a long conversation with Jason about his work, his past (including some struggles), and what he is looking forward to building.
