• Developed computer vision solutions end-to-end, from documenting client needs to deployment• Designed and developed state-of-the-art multimodal models in PyTorch with pre-trained computer vision transformers as a backbone that sat atop custom neural networks for classification, forecasting, and business decisions• Led the design, development and fine-tuning of multimodal models for hedge funds, using Python, OpenCV, PyTorch and AWS Sagemaker, significantly enhancing forecasting and risk analytics • Pioneered novel solutions using transformers to solve unusually complex business problems, turning data sequences into language, using self-supervised, curriculum learning, and reinforcement learning• Led cross-functional teams to implement AI models using Python, OpenCV, AWS, PyTorch, and TensorFlow- leading experiment design, feature engineering, results analysis, and fine-tuning• Developed models using classification, regression, clustering, trees, gradient boosting, neural nets, CNNs, transformers, LLMs and RL for NLP, computer vision, time-series forecasting, segmentation• Collaborated with software engineers and product managers to integrate ML models and pipelines into production systems, ensuring DevOps best practices, pre-processing, scalability, efficiency, A/B tests and Git version control

Carden Capital operates fully automated algorithmic trading strategies which provide uncorrelated returns to investors. I design and create custom software using a wide range of machine learning algorithms for data visualization and predictive models using R and Python. I was responsible for full-stack development of financial products that brought in $20 million and achieved 28% average annual return.

Alternative Advantage is a proprietary trading firm that specializes in algorithmic trading in foreign exchange, commodities, and other alternative investments. I developed and tested predictive ML models using R and Python. I also identified profitable market segments and designed financial products and solutions that brought in $15 million in new client accounts.

- Managed client relationships, bringing in $45 million in new accounts, doubling the firm’s assets - Developed all of the core investment strategies, which became Morningstar 5 star ranked- Implemented option hedging strategies using big data and proprietary scripting- Overhauled the IT to bring it up to state of the art, which greatly increased company efficiency- Facilitated investment committee meetings

I develop systems to make day to day activities of my team more efficient. Systematized customer service ensures consistency and credibility.
