ChrisStucchio

Pro le

Experienced developer with a background in web development, quantitative trading, and scienti c com-

puting. Currently looking for a new challenge.

Experience

Styloot, CTO, NY, NY and Pune, India.

2011-2012

Designed and built Styloot, a visual search engine for women s fashion. Users can create the

visual representation with Styloot s create page or they can upload photographs with Styloot s

iPhone app (still pending Apple approval), and Styloot will nd items of similar appearance in

our catalog.

Managed a technology team of 3 people and an oracle sta of 8.

- Technologies used: Python/Django, C++, Java and Hadoop (all hosted on AWS). We also

use a team of human oracles as an in-house version of Mechanical Turk.

Mesh Capital, Quantitative Trader, Jersey City, NJ.

2010-2011

Devised and implemented strategies for high frequency trading. Designed a global predictive

strategy using activity in high volume stocks to predict price movements of low volume stocks.

Micro-optimized various system components to reduce latency during high volume periods.

Devised dynamic portfolio rebalancing strategy to reduce risk and increase pro ts. All work

done in Java.

Trading Games, Quantitative Developer (Consultant), NY, NY.

2009-2010

Designed and implemented alpha version of a prediction market platform for an early stage

startup. Platform consists of a backend which acts as an exchange for binary event futures, a

frontend which is a web-based user interface allowing users to buy and sell event futures, and a

JSON API which allows external developers to interface with the system.

- Technologies used: Python/Django, C++, AMQP (RabbitMQ)

Courant Institute, NYU, Postdoctoral Scholar, NY, NY.

2007-2010

Developed a model-based reconstruction algorithm for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) as

well as a supporting library of computational geometry algorithms. This involves both image

processing and computational geometry. Developed new numerical algorithms for solving wave

equations (particularly electromagnetism and super uids) and built a model of quantum deco-

herence to help understand the measurement problem.

Rutgers University, Bevier Graduate Fellow, Piscataway, NJ.

2002-2007

Developed a software package for solving the partial di erential equations involved in modeling

nanoscale quantum transport (written in Python and C). Managed a team of two undergraduate

researchers for part of the project. In collaboration with experimentalists at the Technion/Israel

Institute of Technology, I used the aforementioned software package to model optics experiments.

I also taught courses ranging from Precalculus to Di erential Equations.

Skills
