My Work Experience

Where I've interned and worked during my career.

Node Capital | Aug 2021 - Present

Head of Quantitative Research

I'm a data scientist, quant developer and quant researcher, with experience in onchain data. I build models, indicators, and strategies, with data that we buy or collect online like: price, onchain data, sentiment, etc. First is to build the indicators most from onchain, then to quantify them, and last to take decisions. I manage and write the algorithmic trading strategies of the fund, which are all automatic quant trading strategies. I've built a dashboard to help the company, it detect tops and bottoms in short and long time-frames, a regime filter to assess the cycle of the market, and a fair price model of models of crypto assets. I write an email every week to share the insights from the models and indicators I've created. Sharing the results and analysis of our trades and portfolio I also comment on my perspective on the market.
