Experience

  • Lambda Trader
    http://github.com/serdil/lambda-trader

    Lambda Trader is an algorithmic trading library and framework built with a focus on cryptocurrency markets. It provides facilities for development, backtesting, live testing, and the live execution and monitoring of trading algorithms on several cryptocurrency exchanges.

    Along with providing data and tools for strategy development and execution, it has many pre-developed built-in strategies, some of them powered by machine learning and data mining algorithms.

    Technologies: Python, Docker, Docker-compose, MongoDB, Scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas, Fabric

  • Cloudchain

    Cloudchain is a decentralized file storage and sharing network powered by Ethereum smart contracts. It encrypts and splits into chunks the files you store/share and distributes the chunks across the network with redundant copies, and stores the metadata and privileges in blockchain so that your files are always secure and available. It also allows the creation of private and public file sharing groups and exchange of money/storage space among users.

    Technologies: Python, Docker, Ethereum, Solidity

  • Ayna

    I designed and implemented a plagiarism detection engine and web service, collectively called "Ayna", which detects plagiarism in free text from across millions of documents in mere seconds.

    Upon completion, Ayna was able to successfully detect real cases of plagiarism in countless academic papers and articles from the web and academic journals with a very low false-positive rate.
