I developed reinforcement learning (RL) models for algorithmic trading by implementing Q-Learning and Policy Gradient (REINFORCE) algorithms within custom market simulation environments tailored for evaluating trading decisions.
Optimized end-to-end training performance by parallelizing environment rollouts and model computations across multi-GPU and multi-core CPU infrastructure, resulting in substantial runtime and iteration speed improvements.
Tackled challenges like reward sparsity and poor credit assignment by breaking down trading tasks into different phases and applying reward shaping and curriculum learning to improve model stability.
Built a modular RL experimentation pipeline that streamlined logging, configuration management, and result tracking, allowing for better reproducibility, scalability, and smoother onboarding for new team members.
