About

I am a data scientist and quantitative developer with over 8 years of experience in data analysis, engineering, and modeling, and 4 years of direct front-office exposure in trading environments. I have worked as a systematic hedge fund trader/developer, a consultant to commodity trading firms, and a front-office software engineer for an electricity trading company. I design robust, data-driven decision systems that enhance operational efficiency and trading performance.

I specialize in cloud-based ETL pipelines, real-time dashboards, and the integration of machine learning into analytics workflows. I am comfortable running end-to-end projects—from data ingestion and model deployment to backtesting and production monitoring—and I thrive in fast-paced energy and financial markets.
