Senior🎓
Top SchoolKohsheen Tiku is a Machine Learning Engineer based in the New York City area with 8 years of experience bridging software engineering and quantitative finance. He has built production ML and trading systems—from CNN-driven NLP at Samsung and high-performance data connectors at Magnitude to hierarchical reinforcement-learning portfolios at Bank of America and mid-frequency alpha strategies at WorldQuant (top 10 in the 2024 International Quant Championship). Comfortable shipping end-to-end solutions, Kohsheen combines C++/Java performance engineering with research-led ML and finance expertise developed during an NYU Financial Engineering masters. Now at Apexon, he focuses on applying rigorous statistical techniques and ML to real-world problems, bringing a practitioner’s attention to latency, robustness, and measurable risk-adjusted returns. An understated but consistent theme in his work is translating research prototypes into scalable, production-ready systems that materially improve performance metrics.
