Context:

Q26 is a project dedicated to the development of trading algorithms and algorithmic trading environments for independant algo-traders. As a team of 4, we combine more than 35 years of experience in discretionary trading on a variety of financial markets and expertises in science computing, artificial intelligence and autonomous algorithmic systems.

Works:

As a Quantitative Analyst/Developer I develop the following projects:

  • Python library dedicated to the development, backtest and stress-test of trading strategies
  • Python library dedicated to the paper/live execution of the developed trading strategies
  • Prototype of a trading strategy execution environment with possibility to manage in live each trading strategy instance thanks to a graphical interface developed with Dash
  • Research and development of trading systems, financial market data analysis.

Tools:

  • Python and libraries: Tensorflow, Scikit-learn, Pandas, Numpy, Dash, Plotly, Socket …
  • Frameworks: MongoDB, SQL, MT4, IBKR TWS, REST APIs, MQL4, MQL5

2017-2020: PhD. in Astrophysics

University of Montpellier - Montpellier, France

Title: Cosmic Ray transport in the weakly ionzed Interstellar Medium

Context:

Cosmic rays play a fundamental role in the dynamics of the galaxy. The way it is injected into the interstellar medium and the processes it can impact over is an active research branch of Astrophysics. Although supernova remnants are thought to be the main cosmic ray accelerators there is no actual model for their injection that can efficiently explain their spectral distribution as observed on Earth and that can be validated by observations at high energy. Moreover, the effects of cosmic rays on the turbulent dynamic of the weakly ionized interstellar medium and in particular the galactic star formation rate stay unknown.

Works:

  • Development of a numerical code describing Cosmic Rays non-linear injection and propagation from supernovae remnants in a multiphasic interstellar medium.
  • Implementation of a numerical non-linear Cosmic Rays advection/diffusion method in the AMR-MHD RAMSES code, allowing to describe the effect of the turbulence generated by Cosmic Rays instabilities over the turbulent and thermodynamical properties of the Interstellar Medium.

Communication:

  • 5 publications in Scientific journals
  • Presentation of my research work results in International Conferences

Technologies and tools :

  • Programming languages: Python, C++, Fortran90, LaTeX, Shell
  • Frameworks: Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Linux, Cloud Computing, OpenMP, MPI
  • Techniques: Numerical Methods, (Semi-)Implicit/Explicit PDE Solvers, Finite Element/Volume Methods, Adaptative/Evolutive Mesh Grids, Stochastic Calculus, Transport & Turbulence theories, Magnetohydrodynamics numerical methods, Plasmas
