$32k total guru earnings. I maintain working relationships with previous guru employers. Economist by degree, Data Scientist/Quant Finance Researcher by occupation and passion. I love using and combining some of the following technologies: Python, Mongodb, SQL, Machine Learning, Image Processing, Selenium Web Driver, Time Series Analysis, Big Data and then visualising it all using MPL, Bokeh, d3.js, etc
I have experience using a range financial data API's, both streaming and historical. I understand the importance of futures curves and putting together a dataset of them for robust signal generation and backtesting. I am also experienced with option pricing and associated 'greeks'. Additionally, I also use tick and volume bars instead of discrete time bars for model building.
My strength is being able to manage a combination of skill sets and combine them to produce effective results, presented in a rational and clear manner.
