    I am an experienced data scientist who has worked in Bioinformatics and Business analytics. I build automated trading strategies in my spare time. I've been programming in R daily for over 10 years and that's where I do most of my data analysis. I have a lot of experience with machine learning and data visualizations, mainly in R and Shiny. Working in a diverse set of fields has given me experience with many different types of data and obtaining it from many different sources. Thereby making me an excellent data miner, and knowing how to transform that data efficiently.

    I am an expert consultant in considering the need of companies and how machine learning can help them develop the needs into reality. I have 2 MSc with a specialization in artificial intelligence and I worked as a researcher for the University of Salerno. My role is to understand the needs of a company and understand if and how artificial intelligence can help it in creating value. My services are mainly structured, but not limited to the following funnel: -Preliminary phase to understand how a machine learning algorithm can help my client -Intermediate phase in which through different supports it is highlighted how and why an algorithm can be useful -Phase in which the algorithm is tested through a proof of concept -The final phase is in which with the help of the team of developers the algorithm is structured and sized to go into production. Currently, the projects I have worked on most are in the following areas, for which I have particular experience: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text analysis, web scraping, data mining, Computer vision, and computer vision on biomedical data. * I encourage clients to have me sign an NDA whenever they think it can be good for them.*

    I am a seasoned data science professional with over 10 years of experience. At my full-time job as a senior data scientist for a large cruise company, my passion is leveraging both fundamental and advanced analytics to provide bespoke business and revenue solutions across the organization. Previously, I worked as a senior data analyst for a multi-billion dollar quasi-governmental company working to help fund affordable high-speed internet across the United States. My experience in data science and analytics is full-stack. What that means is you can rely on me from A-Z: processing your raw, messy data (ETL), finding significant insights in your data (EDA) and then uncovering subtle patterns via advanced statistics and algorithms (machine learning), and finally putting everything together with powerful visualizations in a compelling report. In addition, I am more than happy to help with any programming/scripting, database, and reporting automation projects. I am very comfortable programming in Python, R, and SQL. I also am an expert in visualizing and manipulating data with Tableau (including Tableau Prep). I earned my master's degree and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of Virginia where I specialized in computer modeling and simulation of nanoscale materials. Before that, I graduated from the University of Richmond with a double major in Physics and Chemistry.

I can create custom dashboards for your data with intelligent analytics and interactive graphics. I program in R 6 days a week and I am very confident with all aspects of a data analysis project. I use mostly the very powerful packages created by Hadley Wickham (data import, cleaning and tidying (tidyr), manipulation (dplyr), visualisation (ggplot2) and reporting (Shiny)). The list of online certificates (below) is a good indication of the focus of my skills. To understand the power of these tools for creating dashboards I suggest you take a look at RStudio's Shiny gallery (shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/). I have participated in the Master R Developer Workshop by RStudio, thaught by no other than Hadley Wickham himself. My expert knowledge in R extends to high quality functional programming, package building, meta-programming and more.

    Services: - Development of algorithmic trading systems for a wide range of assets including equities, futures, options, crypto and forex - Automation, backtesting and quantitative research - Evaluation, optimization and consulting to improve investment strategies such as avoiding backtest overfitting and other common pitfalls - Creation of customized indicators, factors, signal services and market scanners including automated notifications - Development and enhancement of framework modules such as execution algorithms (including TCA) and portfolio optimization models - Increasing the efficiency of trading algorithms so that large amounts of streaming data can be processed faster and less hardware resources are required Technologies & Tools: - Python including a wide range of libraries like pandas, numpy, numba, scikit-learn, matplotlib, seaborn and many more - QuantConnect / LEAN - Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration - Supported brokers for live and paper trading: Interactive Brokers (IB), Tradier, Binance etc. Bio: Quantitative trader and mathematician with strong affinity to financial markets and coding. Extensive experience in design, development and analysis of algorithmic trading strategies. I have been trading various financial instruments (equities, futures, options and currencies) for more than 10 years, whereas my approach has become more and more systematic over the years. I graduated with a Master's degree in Mathematics at University of Technology Dortmund (Germany) in 2016. My master thesis is about Schroedinger asymptotic of wave equations in periodic media. The subject belongs to the field of nonlinear partial differential equations and has applications in signal transmission using fiber optics technology. I then worked as an IT Consultant for 3+ years and was mainly employed as a data warehouse engineer and ETL developer in the regulatory reporting department of large financial institutions. I currently work full-time as a professional Quant Developer and have already invested many thousands of hours in R&D of financial markets and systematic trading strategies, building a deep knowledge of quantitative finance and algorithmic trading. Other remarks: My algorithms are always professionally designed and well documented, making them easy to follow. I mostly use the framework approach, so that the code is modular, pluggable and clearly structured, which also makes it much easier to perform adjustments or extensions. I am willing to sign a NDA, if desired, so that the intellectual property (IP) rights remain with you.
