Quants of WSO, what advice do you have for me?

Working as an analyst, I want to build my own quantitative models. Now I know analysts don’t do these, but I have heavy math/ml experience in college (published 2 papers) so I want to leverage these. How do I get started? Any books I should read? Tutorials to follow?

I work with power traders.
