EXPERTISE
MANAGEMENT
I successfully set up and managed an algorithmic hedge fund. I recruited, trained and led teams of quants and IT. I have a proven ability to get teams to work and communicate seamlessly. Any team that I work with has always been at the head of the class in terms of performance. I value my people skills just as highly as my technical knowledge. I am a good communicator, have technical know-how, encourage team work, and have always fulfilled my responsibilities with confidence.
TECHNICAL
I designed and developed various fintech solutions including the low latency trading systems for portfolio management, HFT and UHFT algorithmic strategies, quantitative systems providing analysis and forecasts for the financial market through the spectral analysis and AI neural networks Theano/Tensorflow, Pytorch, Deep Reinforcement Learning. I also developed solutions for fx market aggregation, smart order routing and market surveillance. Recently I designed the blockchain based Social Trading p2p Network for cryptocurrencies trading.
COMMERCIAL
I conducted product demonstrations and usage discussions on technical, functional and quantitative aspects from first contact through to post-sales client management. This includes everything from first-contact with financial institutions and HNW individuals at trade shows, workshops, product demonstrations and usage discussions to customer visits and discussions regarding advanced use of my products.
