I have been involved in AI software development for the financial industry since 1985. I have a particular interest in genetic algorithims as well as hierarchal lists of Bayesian classifiers.
The current company I cofounded several years ago takes in in the Twitter Firehose data feed consisting of over 1 billion tweets a day and captures relevant tweets indicative of trending news stories and categorizing the story according to sentiment, trending and which of over 12000 publicly listed companies the story pertains to . Our product is distributed on Thompson Reuters and Bloomberg Platforms.
My hobbies are Chess and I enjoy trying to understand nature.
