ABOUT ROBERT HARDY

I am passionate about good technology across the whole stack: from low­ level mathematical algorithms, to robust large-scale data pipelines, data visualization and user interaction. My programming and mathematical skills are excellent. I have been successful at getting good products out rapidly to users and have been lead contributor on systems that have been delivering value for years.I value communication and am very able to collaborate with business partners and clients. I have a proven track record of running a happy, energized and productive team.Substantial experience in- Pandas/Numpy/SciPy data science stack- Airflow/Jenkins/Spark/graph technologies for prod-critical data pipelines- Kubernetes/Cloud/Linux- no-SQL and SQL databases- Streamlit/Dash/React UI and visualisation frameworks- full-stack web apps/servers/APIs- AI coding tools, LLMs, PyTorch.I have a PhD in probability theory and have worked both as a Quant and Python Engineer with numerous mathematical and statistical models and huge amounts of data in prod-critical systems.I have worked extensively with all variants of tech stacks in the banking and asset-management industries and with complex mathematical frameworks for derivatives pricing, algorithmic trading and risk management.I have been an invited speaker at data science conferences. I was founder of the Full Stack Quants community (over quant members), organising monthly meetings at CodeNode, central London\'s brilliant tech venue. My blog \"Fermat\'s Last Spreadsheet\"(https://fermatslastspreadsheet.com) has been receiving an average of visits per year since I set it up 2011; the post I wrote to explain the jargon that fixed-income traders use (I started my career in fixed income trading) is the number 1 hit in a Google search.I am currently writing a book on Galois Theory.
