José Ferreira is a quant and data scientist with nine years of experience applying numerical methods from statistical physics to end-to-end data science and algorithmic trading in European energy markets. He transitioned from academia (PhD and postdoc in condensed matter and theoretical physics) into industry, building production-ready analytics, trading models and data-intensive web apps using R, Python and open-source visualization frameworks. At LEGO and InCommodities he delivered interactive tools, deployment pipelines and APIs—bridging ML/analytics, engineering and product stakeholders—and has hands-on experience with RStudio Connect, Docker and CI-driven deployments. His recent work focuses on macro trading strategies for power markets, while he’s actively exploring TensorFlow, Apache Arrow/Vaex, React and AWS to speed data workflows. Known for turning complex models into usable web applications, he combines rigorous mathematical grounding with practical productionization instincts. Based in Denmark, he enjoys learning new technical approaches and making developer-facing tooling that simplifies non-front-end teams’ access to modern UI components.
