Neural Network based applications

Personality:

friendly person, always ready to help colleagues, willing (and able) to transmit knowledge and

share experience with collaborating persons

self starter, fast learner

ability to adapt to new environments and

problems

willingness to continuously search for new

challenges or new ways to deal with existing ones

curious and always willing to expand knowledge and skills

able to build on previous experience and skills within new working and business environments

hard working, reliable and accountable

used and able to deal with very complex problems and to design efficient solutions to them

able to blend experience, knowledge and creativity Relevant Experience:

Here are some few examples of what I have done for my current and former employers:

1) quant based asset allocation model: design and

implementation of a dynamic asset allocation model, able to incorporate any kind of view (subjective, algo- based, etc.) and working with virtually any asset class

(equity, bonds, IRS, CDS, futures, options, etc.)

2) setup of complex risk managements frameworks in several startups to monitor and manage the risks

involved in asset management and/or trading

activities:

retrieval of data (both historical and real time) directly from sources like Reuters and

Bloomberg and organization of data within

standardized and reliable databases through

SQL (MySql-Python, FoxPro). This is always

the first step in building a risk mgmt

framework as it provides the availability of

'clean' data that can be used by calculation

engines written in Matlab or other languages

lattice models for option pricing (mainly

equity, equity index, interest rates options

and options on commodities)

stochastic modelling for both risk

management (hedging and risk measurement)

and pricing purposes

PDEs’solutions numerical approximation

through finite difference methods, MC

3) setup of trading and portfolio management strategies:

buildup of high frequency (prices, volatility

surfaces, interest rates, FX rates, etc.) and low

frequency (macroeconomic data, credit ratings,

etc.) databases to feed algorithmic trading models

systematic and algorithmic trading models to

exploit arbitrage opportunities and or repeating

patterns detected through data mining on several

asset classes (equity, equity indices, commodities, power)

implementation of these models through Matlab

in a real time environment (via real time links to data providers) to generate real time buy / sell

signals

modelling of demand / supply of electricity (and other commodities) through regression combined

with AR and GARCH modelling

portfolio optimization based on Capital Asset

Pricing model, Bayesian and Entropy Pooling

approaches.

4) Credit / Validation / Performance Attribution

Credit risk has never been the main focus of my

job, but I have had some exposure to this area as

a consequence of both internal risk management

guidances and regulatory standards imposed by

Basel II and ICAAP related to credit risk

management and capital absorption, with

particular regard to OTC derivatives counterparty
