As the Co-Founder and CTO at Quanted, I'm a passionate advocate for reducing the opportunity cost of data testing in quant R&D.With over a decade of expertise in Artificial Intelligence and 5 years in financial markets, I find myself at the crossroads of tech & finance. My background includes leading teams at Germany's largest robotics company, published work in AI for self-driving cars as Head of AI @ VW autonomous driving, consulting financial institutions re integrating ML to their algorithmic trading systems, and driving financial market innovation with Quanted.Quanted was born from a simple yet powerful observation: quants are stuck in a cycle of endless data testing—sifting through countless sources, navigating data access bureaucracy, handling tedious processing, and wasting months just to find out if there’s value or not. It didn’t sit right with us, so we built a better way.Our system tests your specific quant model against all partner vendor data in 𝟯𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀, identifying the universe of data relevant to enriching it.This is all done via a double blind system, where no party can observe any other’s IP - providing unparalleled data protection and security.• Once you validate the statistical significance of the output, you can seamlessly connect with the vendor to trial the data, replicate results, observe the value yourself, and make a purchase.• We front-load data processing & initial feature development, providing the scripts used + clear instructions to replicate results in your environment.Reach out directly or schedule a demo on our website to see how Quanted can fit into your workflow.I regularly share insights and developments in the realm of AI, data and quantitative trading.
