Ethan Olesinski

I am a Master of Computer Science student focusing on software systems and fintech applications. I am also the author and maintainer of PoliSciPy, an open-source Python package for U.S. election visualization.

Most recently, I was a software engineering intern at Morgan Stanley, where I worked on improving trading infrastructure for the fixed income trading desk. Previously, I also interned at the MIT Digital Currency Initiative and Federal Reserve, where I worked on various projects related to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Prior to graduate school, I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Minor in Mathematics from the University of Nevada, Reno. I also spent a year as an undergraduate Visiting Student at Columbia University studying financial economics and computer science.
