I have worked across SaaS, Payments, investment management, and renewables energy in data science and analytics roles helping companies build better insights from their data and helping them in making more data-informed decisions, and improving the efficiency of their operations. [Currently open to offers] I have a keen interest in the areas of finance and investing and how can we leverage the power of technology and data to make better investment decisions. I regularly share interesting insights from my research with the LinkedIn community. I have written step-by-step detailed guides on how you can backtest almost any technical trading strategy on any stock listed on any major exchange across the world. These guides comes in form of simple plug-and-play tutorials written in jupyter notebooks with every line of code and reasoning explained. You can find them here: https://vdesai.gumroad.com/
