Hello! I'm an independent researcher with a background in mathematical modeling and AMO physics, who is currently working on problems in machine learning and information theory. My work experience includes almost 10 years of building machine learning models for quantitative trading, with a focus on ways to leverage so-called "alternative data" (which in quantitative finance is anything that isn't regular market data). This furnished me with lots of opportunity to interact with some really interesting problems and develop modeling techniques that could handle such noisy or rare signals. If you ever want to discuss anything from quantum computing to algorithmic trading, feel free to drop me a line!
