Stephen Bieniek
Data Analysis Developer
Stephen Bieniek started his career as a physicist working on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. His job was to analyze vast quantities of data to understand the behavior of the building blocks of the universe. After getting his fill of academia, he moved into trading where instead of trying to understand the universe he needed to understand the financial markets. In both ventures, the key parts of the data analysis were statistical rigor and interpretable results.
