💼 Past Experience

summarized my experiences as a Quantitative Researcher at Teza Technologies from July 2010 to May 2011 in Chicago, IL. Developed the first profitable strategy at Teza. Quant researcher focused on high frequency trading strategies across multiple asset classes. Developed research toolkit that allowed for very rapid iteration cycles allowing quick testing of new ideas and an efficient pipeline for deploying models to production. Summer Associate at Morgan Stanley from 2008 to 2008 (less than a year). Graduate summer associate in Process Driven Trading (PDT) group, and developed strategies for systematic trading. Associate Researcher at FireSpout from June 2000 to November 2001 (1 year 6 months) in Greater Boston Area. I developed new algorithms for document summarization, topic identification, and other areas of natural language processing and information retrieval. Also involved in technical presentations to secure angel and VC funding, recruiting, and mentorship. Cryptanalytic Mathematician at National Security Agency from August 1995 to June 2000 (4 years 11 months). Received full-tuitionNSA scholarship and year-round stipend. Worked at the Agency during summers and after graduation. My interests in computational number theory, high performance computing and foreign languages flourished as a result. Also selected for the Director's Summer Program (DSP).I advise companies and founders on strategy, especially addressing data science platforms, teams, and products. These companies range from major multinationals to stealth-mode startups, addressing consumer and enterprise markets. If you're interested in higher performing teams, accelerating time to market and DS research loops, and developing world class DS platforms, let's talk.At Advisor, I advise companies and founders on strategy, especially addressing data science platforms, teams, and products.
