Created tools in ThinkScript and data processing in Python/MATLAB for myself and a group of full-time traders. Simplified high bar-of-entry concepts for non-mathematicians/financial engineers, applying graduate level maths, self-taught concepts (stochastic calculus to time-series data, Taleb and Sinclair’s Options/Dynamic Hedging), whitepapers (NOPE), and using liquidity/option data to generate predictive likelihood distributions for indices and market volatility.

Calabasas, California, United States

Created algorithms, scripts and tools in Python for bespoke solution allowing for mass-filing of client financial/tax documents to governments. Used Git and Jira for tracking, QA, and validation tests. Provided technical support in software for corporate clients. Advised and accommodated 50+ Fortune 500 companies with sales and technical issues. Closed 250+ sales of software, provided demonstrations, and collected feedback to improve software.
