    Would CFA/FRM be a wise choice?

    IMO, building something ground-up in C++/Python, releasing it and maintaining it on GitHub, related to algorithmic trading or sell-side mathematics is much more likely to interest recruiters. They are looking for fluid intelligence; not crystallized knowledge.
