Most businesses are sitting on valuable data, they just don't know how to use it yet. I help founders, managers, and growing businesses turn that data into clear decisions, accurate predictions, and real results. I work with businesses to solve practical problems using data: forecasting outcomes, understanding customer behavior, automating repetitive analysis, and building intelligent systems that save time and reduce guesswork. - Turning messy, overwhelming data into clear, actionable insights - Building prediction models with 87%+ accuracy that help you plan ahead with confidence - Automating manual reporting and analysis to save your team hours - Identifying patterns in customer data to support smarter business decisions - Delivering results you can actually act on, not just technical reports A few things I'm proud of: - โญ 100% Job Success Score across all completed projects on Upwork - ๐ŸŽฏ Built prediction models achieving 87% accuracy on real-world data - โœ… 5-star reviews on every completed client engagement across multiple platforms - ๐Ÿ“Š Delivered solutions across healthcare, education, and business analytics I focus on practical solutions, not just theory. Every project I take on is built around your specific business goals and designed to fit into how your team already works, no unnecessary complexity, just results. If you're ready to make your data work for you, I'd love to hear about your project. Let's talk.

I am a data scientist and quantitative developer with more than 10 years of experience. I build, backtest, and automate trading strategies, and the work I take on is implementing an idea or a set of rules that you already have. I will be direct about what I do and do not do. I do not sell ready-made strategies, and I do not take work that depends on promising a profitable system. What I am good at is taking a defined edge, hypothesis, or rule set and turning it into something tested honestly and built to run unattended. You can get a first version from ChatGPT or Claude in an afternoon now, and that is genuinely useful. I use the same tools. The catch is that an AI will happily hand you a beautiful equity curve that quietly used future data, fit a hundred parameters to noise, and ignored slippage and fees, and then it falls apart the first week it trades live. Most of my value is knowing where those traps are: lookahead and data leakage, overfitting across many trials, survivorship bias, and the gap between a fill in a backtest and a fill in a thin order book. I test so the number you act on survives out of sample and in real execution, not only on paper. A few things I have built. Futures trading and market data analysis in Python. Trading systems in MetaTrader. Backtesting and optimization for a defined options strategy on SPX. A sentiment-driven ARIMAX forecaster for the S&P 500 that collects its own data. How I work on a strategy. Backtesting with realistic costs, slippage, and execution assumptions, walk-forward and out-of-sample testing, and an honest read on whether an edge is real or only fit the past. Implementation and automation across broker and exchange APIs, with the monitoring to run it unattended. And the statistics underneath, so position sizing and risk hold up. I have a PhD, which mostly shows up as a habit of asking whether a result is real before trusting it. I am Top Rated on Upwork with over 4,000 hours across 60-plus projects. If you have a strategy or an idea you want built and tested properly, or an AI-generated prototype you want pressure-tested before you risk money on it, tell me the rules and what you have, and I will give you a straight read. Stack: Python, Pandas, NumPy, backtesting frameworks, statsmodels, scikit-learn, MetaTrader (MQL), broker and market data APIs, SQL, Docker, AWS/GCP/Azure.
