Work History

Futures Trader (1/00-Present)

• Previously published swing trading systems to collective2 for the NQ, ES, and ER2 futures markets. These systems were developed using the proprietary Excel/VBA tool described below.
• Eternal Return Trading - SwingNQ
• Eternal Return Trading - SwingES
• Eternal Return Trading - SwingER2
• Above strategies/systems implemented in Tradestation's Easylanguage and run in real-time and published to collective2 using Tradestation
• Implemented genetic algorithm and backtesting engine to optimize proprietary parameterized trading strategies (Excel/VBA)
• Implemented custom indicators and strategies and implemented a custom genetic algorithm that accepted user-defined fitness functions in Tradestation (EasyLanguage)
• Implemented custom indicators and strategies for NinjaTrader trading platform (C#/NinjaScript)
• Applied machine learning algorithms from scikit-learn machine learning platform to custom trading strategies
• Discretionary and systematic daytrading of NQ and ES futures markets based on technical analysis and tape reading (order flow analysis)
• Currently trading using NinjaTrader trading platform

Web Developer: Microsoft LinkExchange/bCentral (3/99-1/00)

• Implemented dynamically-generated Banner Network Control Center pages and other projects
• Implemented various in-house tools to aid in web-page generation/modification and in website building
• Above projects used: Perl 5 (OOP), Unix (FreeBSD) OS, SQL, Oracle DB, Apache/Mod-Perl HTTP server, CVS source code control

Web Developer: Computer Curriculum Corporation (now Pearson Educational Technologies) (4/98-3/99)

• Implemented and modified cgi-based (Perl 5) educational curriculum projects on web-based learning (K-8) educational website ( CCCNet, now Pearson Educational Technologies)
• Implemented and maintained web-based web-page generation tools for outside clients (Silver-Burdett-Ginn)
• Implemented various in-house tools to aid in web-page generation/modification and in website building
• Above projects used: Perl 5, Windows NT OS, SQL, Oracle DB, Apache HTTP server, CVS source code control

Technical Writer: LifeLong Learning and Design (9/97-12/97)

• Authored four distinct online manuals describing Agentsheets, a visual programming environment that enables end-users to create SimCity^TM-like simulations quickly and easily
  • Getting Started Manual
  • Reference Manual
  • Designing Projects Manual
  • Designing Commands and Type-Interactors Manual

• Agentsheets has evolved considerably since I authored its first user manuals, and the above manuals I developed do not accurately describe the current version of Agentsheets. They are available for informational/historical purposes only. These manuals have not been maintained since 1999. For the most part, they are still intact, but a few broken links and a few layout errors have crept in over time.

Teaching Assistant: CSCI 4318, Senior Software Engineering Project , CU-Boulder (8/96-5/97)

• Class taught to all graduating seniors in CSCI at the University of Colorado-Boulder
• Critiqued and assisted 7 student groups through Requirements Specification, Architecture Description, Design Specification, Implementation, Alpha and Beta Testing, and Documentation phases of a year-long software engineering project sponsored by various companies and research groups in the Boulder, CO area

Research and Development: LifeLong Learning and Design (5/96-8/96)

• Research and preliminary development of an Agentsheets-based visual language to support LAN design and maintenance

System Administrator: UnixOps, CU-Boulder (9/95-5/96)

• Provided software and hardware support of Unix-based LAN's for various departments on the CU-Boulder campus

Artificial Intelligence Researcher: Dept. of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Systems Science, Medical University of South Carolina (5/93-8/93)

• Researched "Applications of Artificial Neural Networks in Biomedical Signal Processing"
• Extended classic PDP feed-forward, backpropagation ANN (McClelland & Rumelhart '88) to include Fahlman's derivative term and Jacob's Delta-Bar-Delta algorithm
• Applied modified ANN to real-world data from auditory threshold study on gerbils with success. (Quicker and more reliable training with modified backprop ANN as compared to training with unmodified backprop ANN)
