Kanav started at Jump Trading Group as an intern helping build the early trading platform for the group’s crypto efforts in 2016. After Kanav was hired full-time, he worked as a quantitative researcher/developer and then as director of strategic initiatives and digital assets. We talk about his upbringing in India, what kinds of Legos he had as a kid, and his early love of video games.
