Building Systems.
Allocating Capital.
Economics student at UGA focused on quantitative research, systematic trading, and entrepreneurial capital allocation.
I'm Fabian Bonilla — an Economics student at the University of Georgia, Terry College of Business, with a business analytics and quantitative finance emphasis (expected graduation: December 2026).
I come from a Mexican-American immigrant family and carry a first-generation mindset: operate with urgency, learn quickly, keep standards high. That pushed me into entrepreneurship early — acquiring my first business through an SBA loan, operating a café, and building a videography business with recurring weekly revenue.
In markets, I focus on risk-managed systems over prediction-based opinions. I've been building and backtesting systematic frameworks — including ORB breakout research — while developing technical fluency in R, Python, and SQL.
Long term: elite systematic trading capability, ownership of high-quality cash-flowing businesses, and a durable capital platform that compounds over decades.
