Can Robots Trade?
I grew up in Western New York, and studied Math & Computer Science at University in the early 1980s. After my time as an undergraduate I took a variety of programming jobs available in the local area. I started my career coding payroll applications, which was well paying but dull work. I later took a job with DARPA, programming avionics for military aircraft.
After a few years I moved to AT&T Bell Labs in Homdel, New Jersey, where I programmed Expert Systems.
An Expert System is a program capable of simulating human decision making. First developed in the 1970s, they were cutting edge at the time I was working with them. However now they have been eclipsed by other variants of Artificial Intelligence.
I started working on Wall Street in the late 1980s. There I merged my passions for technology and finance. I began coding quantitative analysis tools for trading. Later I moved to risk management. I am still fascinated by Artificial Intelligence when it joins my two passions.
