SEEKING FREELANCER - Boston, MA or Remote

Consultant / Expert / Tutor for Machine Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance - Quantitative Investment Strategies

[ Consulting / Freelance / Part-Time / Boston Area / Remote Available ]

Hi, I’m a Boston-based investment fund portfolio manager. I specialize in systematic (computer-driven) investment strategies. I’m looking for people with deep expertise or experience in any of [Machine Learning / Deep Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance] to work with me as consultants / experts / tutors in these areas. I have knowledge in each of these areas. I’m looking for people I can consult with to further develop my knowledge and think about applications of these disciplines to investing. Right now I’m thinking of this as a series of interactions rather than one big engagement, but I’m flexible and open to ideas from you. Here are some project ideas for starters:

- Teaching me about your area of expertise and discussing applications of these methods to investing - Guiding best practices for real-world applications - Discussing and reviewing new cutting-edge academic research - Evaluating strengths and weaknesses of these methods - Consulting on the use of open-source tools and software - Help guide and tutor my own study in these areas - Collaborate with portfolio management team to develop new strategies and analytics

Qualifications: Experience or expertise in one or more of [Machine Learning / Deep Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance / etc]. I’m open to many backgrounds: academic research and experience or applied on-the-job expertise. Strong communication skills a must. Finance experience is not required. I’m willing to consider all backgrounds. I like Boston-area candidates who can meet at our offices, but this isn’t required. Finding the right person is more important than location.

This work is with a successful team at an established world-class firm. Investment areas include currencies, interest rates, equities, futures and commodities. This is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to a world-class investment firm and learn about systematic investing. This could be an ideal engagement for an experienced candidate or a current Masters or PhD student or recent grad. All candidates are welcome to apply, including experienced candidates and professional freelancers. Strong performance could lead to significant future opportunities including full-time positions and internships.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area or remote Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~8 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes.

In the past, I've worked with companies like Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently fully booked through summer 2015, but I'm always happy to grab coffee and chat.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or travel around Europe fine. Native British developer based in Warsaw, Poland.

Back-end and front-end jack-of-all-trades, concentrating on PHP/Python/jQuery/Angular/MySQL, experienced with Apache/Nginx/IIS, and general Linux admin, plus the odd bit of AWS and EMR fun.

A few sample projects I work on in my spare time, using PHP/Laravel/MySQL/Angular/jQuery:

https://www.wphub.com

http://track-chat.com (also uses Erlang, but I am by no means an expert!)

http://www.cuteleads.com

http://interactwive.com

http://tweetingmachine.com

I'm very good at finding solutions to complex problems, enjoy rescuing projects in trouble, and like working with technology in general.

I always enjoy chatting about projects, whether they're in the planning stages or just need a bit of help; drop me an email today at tom@tbbpolska.com and I'll be delighted to have a chat :)
