Energy Procurement Research & Backtesting Platform · proprietary platform · on-site engagement in Oxford, UK (Sep - Oct 2026)

A research and backtesting platform for power and gas procurement in European markets, built for monthly and quarterly purchases. Built in under a month. In its first exploratory backtest, the quarterly power buying rule came in 2.5% below the buyer's current practice in 3 of 3 delivery quarters (fees excluded), inside the 1 to 5% range McKinsey cites for strong energy procurement. The first 5 buying strategies are ready for validation, and the method is open-ended: new strategies and hypotheses can be added for each buying problem to find the best result. An out-of-sample period stays sealed until a rule is frozen. How it works and the evidence.

Agentic Workflow Orchestration Platform (AWOP) · proprietary platform

Berlin, remote. A platform for AI coding agents. It develops the trading decision engine and the execution copilot today, and built the energy research platform. Several AI agents work in parallel under one shared engineering standard, with a test-regression gate on every merge and independent review on every autopilot merge. How it works and the evidence.

Oct 2026 to now

Trading Execution Copilot · voice execution on MT5 · proprietary product

A voice execution copilot for discretionary trading on MT5, built through the same agentic platform. Every order is validated, risk-sized and read back; nothing is sent without explicit confirmation, and every execution is reconciled with the broker. How it works and the evidence.

Feb 2021 to now

Independent quantitative research and trading-systems development

Berlin. Intensive self-directed market study and applied research, through four successive trading systems. Self-funded throughout.

2021 to now

Trading-strategy training

Seven successive private mentorship programmes in discretionary trading. 564 archived sessions, and 15,000+ of those hours in chart study. Those rules were then formalised into deterministic, testable logic, and the ones that did not survive measurement were dropped.

Sep 2022 to Aug 2024

Quant research and algorithm optimisation · Rabot Crypto

Data-driven research for crypto markets. Python dashboards with pandas, NumPy, Dash and Plotly for market behaviour, volatility regimes, volume and open interest. Translated research ideas into testable workflows with developers and traders.

Feb to May 2022

Data Science and Machine Learning bootcamp · SPICED Academy

Berlin. 480+ curriculum hours: Python, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, SQL and NoSQL fundamentals, dashboards, deployment concepts.

2012 to 2020

Music producer, educator and founder

Berlin and international. Built a creative practice and an online education business: production, teaching, mentoring and independent ownership. It is where the discipline of structure, timing and iteration comes from.

The three systems before this platform: a configurable multi-timeframe BTC research system in June 2025, a Python and Streamlit application for rule-based signal research in September, and a React and TypeScript platform with engine comparison and golden-case validation in November.

Core expertise

Strategy design
Turning discretionary trading expertise (decisions a trader makes by judgement) into explicit, testable rules, with hypotheses and acceptance criteria defined before measurement.
Research design
Deterministic strategy rules, experiment identity, parameter exploration, reproducible comparisons.
Simulation and risk
Execution-aware backtesting, Monte Carlo stress analysis (thousands of reshuffled histories to see how bad it can get), sizing, exposure and drawdown controls.
Decision systems
Offline policy learning, off-policy evaluation (learning and judging a decision rule on recorded history before it risks money), champion-challenger governance (a new version must beat the one in use), statistical promotion gates, hard safety veto; reinforcement learning among the candidate model families.
Evaluation
Expected-versus-actual analysis, signal-to-fill diagnostics (tracing each signal to the order and the fill it produced), golden cases, regression testing.
Agentic engineering
Multi-agent orchestration and coordination across accounts and model families, MCP integration, agent evals, bounded self-healing and human oversight. Test-regression gates and independent review on autopilot routes. AWOP architecture and evidence.
Engineering
Python, TypeScript and Node.js for market-data pipelines, MT5 execution workflows, REST services and research tooling. Trading systems evidence.
