“When it comes to ML, you want to be looking for truths or theories about markets that persist through time because those are going to be the ones that you can have the most confidence in.”

Fernando Vidal

Cofounder & Chief Data Scientist

Fernando spent 7 years working as a quantitative analyst at Ned Davis Research’s consulting group conducting research, building and testing models and studies for institutional investors. Following this work in the investment space, he spent 6 years founding and leading a Data Science team at SauceLabs, a VC-backed fast growing market leader in software testing based out of San Francisco.
