Labeling Experience

Data Scientist, machine-learning trading system

OtherTextData Collection

Worked on a machine-learning trading system that scrapes and processes large volumes of text documents from diverse sources to generate trading signals. The role emphasized transforming unstructured text into usable features for the ML system and integrating the signals into portfolio and risk management models. This constitutes data preparation and signal-generation from text inputs. • Scraped and processed large volumes of text documents from many sources. • Used machine-learning techniques to generate trading signals from text inputs. • Integrated generated signals into a wider trading and risk-management model. • Supported portfolio-level management of securities using ML-driven signals.

Developed an ML platform to analyze and trade across multiple asset classes, using data processing pipelines to generate signals for downstream decisioning. The work involved building computational workflows that transform raw inputs into model-ready representations used for trading. This role focused on machine-learning data preparation rather than manual annotation. • Built an ML platform for cross-asset analysis (Fixed Income, Equity Indices, FX, volatility, commodities). • Implemented and ran data processing to support trading and model inference. • Integrated outputs into a trading/portfolio workflow. • Performed model development and monitoring to support execution.
