Some of my recent projects:

Summary
For over a decade, one person held the belief that systematic trading could be made more lucrative, safer, and smarter. The world of finance is built on a staggering, complex tangle of algorithms driven by competitive pressures and economic shocks.

Dmitry produced creative solutions through the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to deal with the rising complexity of practical financial market challenges. That is why major financial companies hired Dmitry to find priceless answers and bring the solutions business needed.
Master of Computer Science
Ph.D. in Mathematical and Quantitative Methods in Economics

Greencard holder (by E11 Visa)
Selected Achievements:
  • Brain-Inspired new AI techniques
    Driven by the curiosity to learn further techniques in solving challenging AI / ML / Quant problems, Dmitry was encouraged to find insights from Computational Neuroscience research. As a result, found organizing and functional principles of various Brain circuits and, inspired by it, introduced a set of novel AI techniques.

June 2021 - Present
COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENTIST | ML / AI / QUANT
Non-Compete period up to the end of 2022, Florida, USA - As a Data Researcher, I mimic Computational Neuroscience hypotheses and apply scientific / engineering methods to present new solutions for cracking challenging AI/ML/Quant tasks.
      • Aiming to solve diverse Quantitative tasks focusing on delivering advanced algorithmic trading strategy for financial markets. Including data mining, asset allocation, risk management, robustness validation, etc.
      • Presented a prototype of Brain-Like AI with the key features of fast learning, resistance to overoptimization, computational efficiency, supporting huge models, continuous learning, reinforcement learning, and others.
      • Powered by a novel developed bio-neuron and a model of cortical microcolumn as a basic computation unit allowed solving some of the complicated problems of ML/AI easily. The flexible and changing topology of bio-neural networks, sparse connectivity, and vastly parallel computation are a few notable advancements.
      • Explored a simple and universal learning rule for bio-neuron, updating weights and mechanism of growing or running dendrites. Moreover, the Brain-Like learning rule for network parts was discovered using L1 of microcolumn and apical dendrites.
      • Model of artificial Basal Ganglia (for decision making), Hippocampus (data coding and storing), and Thalamus (information flow management), as a core part of novel AI system, which makes it possible to solve very challenging tasks in a completely new way.
      • Revealed technological insights highlighted a way for AGI's practical implementation in a very appropriate environment of financial markets.
