Hi everyone, I've been on the FRIAM list for some time now but haven't
introduced myself yet, so here goes:
My background is in computer science and finance. For the last 5 years I
have been an independent researcher and software developer in the fields of
(agent-based) computational economics and evolutionary computation.
Specifically I've been busy with agent-based simulation models of financial
markets for the purpose of price forecasting. The complex behavior of
financial markets has been a long time interest of me, as well as artificial
intelligence and related computer science fields. My work can be found at
www.altreva.com.
Prior life experience includes an Msc in computer science from Universiteit
Twente, 4 years as a consultant at Ernst & Young Treasury & Financial Risk
Management, 1 year as marketing director of an AI software startup company,
1 year as manager at Ernst & Young Corporate Finance, 5 years of traveling
and living in Sout-East Asia.
I'm living in the Netherlands so unfortunately I won't be able to attend the
FRIAM meetings on a regular basis but I hope to take part in the FRIAM
community through electronic ways.
