About this project

Mallard Management is a full-stack portfolio optimization platform built by Ethan Reinhart, Kimball Weeks, Ben Tell, and Gilbert Knight. It brings institutional-grade quantitative risk and portfolio management techniques to individual investors through a user-friendly interface. What it does: Users input their investment preferences, risk tolerance, and asset universe, and the platform constructs statistically optimized portfolios tailored to those inputs. Under the hood, a Python-based quantitative engine runs the optimization logic, with a JavaScript/TypeScript frontend serving the client experience and a dedicated backend handling data and API orchestration. Tech stack: Python (48.9%) powers the core quant engine, JavaScript (35%) and TypeScript (14.7%) drive the frontend and backend services, with shell scripts for cross-platform dev/deploy support. Architecture: Modular monorepo organized into engine (optimization logic), backend (API/data layer), client (frontend UI), deploy, docs, and scripts.
