These cover coding projects to gather alternative data, ongoing research projects, and other explorations. Recent focus has been on financialization.
I have some coding projects, largely centred around the financial market research. They're largely in Python and can be found on my GitHub account.
A script for sentiment collection and analysis from Reddit for company subreddits. The idea is to see if worker comments, such as on sudden re-organisations, can serve as a signal for M&A activity.
A script on the idea of batch processing the 10-Ks of pharmaceutical companies. The goal is to automate the process of scanning through the reports to identify tentative new clinical drugs in development.
Projects and work need to be balanced with things that give joy.
I massively enjoy playing the guitar. I really like playing alternative and indie rock on the electric (think what was popular from the late 2000s through to the 2010s). I've also been playing fingerstyle on an acoustic since I was 13.
Besides the standard exercise regime, I also enjoy science fiction and reading broadly.
When I can, I'd like to get back into a DnD campaign.
