About Me

Hi, my name is Ryan. I am a junior data scientist at Finatext, currently focussing on sentiment analysis of cryptocurrencies. I graduated with a First-class honours degree in BSc Economics from the University of Bath. I have had work experience in asset management, wealth management and data analytics consulting. I will be starting my Masters degree in Computing Science at Imperial College London in October 2018. I created this blog to document my learning journey in computer science, particularly in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
