I am a software engineer, but the only thing makes me excited is financials. Over the years(10+), I have been writing programs myself to download massive amount of market data, perform statistical analysis on various strategies, auto-track public information, build trading simulator, create customized presentation in various formats (from Windows API to HTML5)… I hope I can work for financial industry so that I can spend all my time in a field that I am interested.

Any suggestion how to approach hedge funds so I can work for them.

Sorry to pour cold water, but those things u've mentioned can be easily done by a non hon computer science degree holder. In fact i could pay a few thousands and get these things done, automated. The reasons u could do it is the same reason why I could outsource someone else to do it.

Do u have PHd in Maths ?
