Alek Turkmen

I'm the founder of Silk, a fully autonomous AI-native investment firm. Silk uses large language models to autonomously trade US equities at the intersection of quantitative and fundamental investment strategies.

Previously, I was an engineer at Northrop Grumman, JBB, and Parallel Distribution.

In my free time, I like restoring cars, designing sculptures, running ultramarathons, tracking my personality(t), some reading, and I'm a founder fellow at On Deck.
