    My passion is authoring new strategies from the ground up in a collaborative effort with specialists on trade desks or with individual traders. My focus is twofold: execution algorithms and research. I studied Financial Math (MSc) at University of Chicago and Math (BA) at Oberlin College. These two focal points play out in many different ways, including coaching manual traders in discipline and risk management. I have found great traction working with clients in building out trade strategies and business planning for wealth management or trading firms. Pure research, project management, execution code for automation, and helping traders form concise hypotheses about what they are seeing in their markets. I would be an excellent addition to existing work flows as a leadership/management intermediary between a technical team and end users like traders and risk managers. Languages and Software: Python, NinjaTrader8 (C#), Kraken Python API, Python's Dash Expert in Trading Technologies Algo Design Lab (ADL). ---------------------------------------------- Types of projects I have been a part of: -- Improve an existing discretionary trade, then convert part of the trade into gray-box execution algorithms. Example: Built algos that manage complex execution logic once a trader launches into a given product and selects parameter values. Used during narrow time windows watching for specific phenomena. For example: detecting certain order flow patterns during the first 5 seconds of the German DAX future open. -- Make a spreader algo agnostic to exchange and spread type. Example: Built a spreader to handle for the order type differences between CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, EUREX, ICEUS, ICELIFFE. Also, allowed for the code to be usable for exchange-native spreads (calendar spreads and inter-commodity spreads) and for spreads built by an end user. -- Additional full examples are under Other Experiences. ---------------------------------------------- Hourly fee listed is for larger projects. Hourly fee for smaller projects will be higher.

    I love to read, write and experiment with various modes of expression.  I have written thousands of pieces – news articles, opinion pieces, fiction, academic papers, consulting reports, expert opinions, correspondence … even a Ph.D. dissertation.  When writing, my goal is to organize and deliver information to my target audience as effectively as possible.  In this day of acronyms and emojis, writers tend to avoid lengthy, meandering pieces.  Instead, they focus on how to convey dominant emotions and messages in the shortest possible time.  I get that!  But the fact of the matter is that I appreciate and savor – literally revere – the ability to use language better than most.  So, even in an ever-changing world catering to people with short attention spans, I continue to search for pieces of work that uphold the finest traditions of authorship while presenting timely, cogent thoughts.  I have traveled all over the world, been a successful business consultant, an economics professor, a journalist, a TV pundit and a sportsman.  I absolutely love being a husband and father.  But nowhere do I find more pleasure on a daily basis than in the simple pursuit of expressing myself properly, whatever the subject matter and whoever the audience.

    The Internet has empowered your business to meet your brand online. Digital marketing and advertising have changed the business dynamics as more business are now increasing their online presence. I am a digital product and marketing strategist. I help clients create their online presence, which includes website development, content creation, creatives, lead generation, SEO, and SEM, as well as digital marketing campaigns across popular social media platforms. I also help clients in developing and architecting applications and solutions to empower their business solutions for better optimization and efficiency. I am also equipped with hands-on experience working with Microsoft Dynamics, PowerApps, PowerBI, and Power Platform tools, which help in creating the most optimized solutions for clients. Digital marketing works on algorithms that take into account several factors to improve user experience, this can be improved with a dedicated expert with insider knowledge and skills to always keep up with that pace. But your business needs to focus on your core products or expertise, instead of doing research and strategy development for digital marketing. That's where I can be helpful with my skills. You can get all or some of the expertise from agencies, but you would not get the personalized and individual attention I provide to develop the best strategy based on your mission and vision.
