- Final implementation of the physical nonlinear model for water flow forecasting, making an complete innovative approach in the price forecasting for the electricity market. The system is purely written in C++, using NLopt (http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt) as the solver platform and LIBFANN for neural network analysis.- Bug correction and maintenance of the portfolio system alongside third-part management systems for financial and back-office support. It’s back to a pure Excel spreadsheet.- Risk models implementation and presentations for the board of directors in order to participate in the strategic meetings for decision-making.

- Conception of a nonlinear physical model for water flow forecasting, in order to make a more precise spot forecasting for the electricity market. It was used a lot of C++ coding, but the solver were still made by MATLAB.- Several improvements in the portfolio manager: responsive web interface, mathematical risk coefficients calculations in a C++ module, several financial tools.- Development of several Excel modules to help the trade desk, including integration with databases, automatic data mining and index calculations.- Risk analysis and decision-making in electricity negotiation.

São Paulo, Sp

- Improvements and new tools in nonlinear models for forecasting prices in the electricity market, using MATLAB and neural toolbox, alongside the optimization packages.- Conception of Value-at-Risk (VaR) and other financial tools for the Brazilian electricity market, in order to make a better approach in portfolio management.- Development of an in-house portfolio management and dispatch system, in order to keep the orders in a database and integration in custom Excel modules. Modules were written in C++ using XLW (http://xlw.sourceforge.net/).- Creation of tools and various models for the Risk Manager to help decision-making. These were a mix of Excel spreadsheets with MATLAB analysis.
