Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Waddoups is a data scientist, software engineer and statistician with nine years of experience building production-grade ML systems and quantitative trading tools. As co-founder and director of Bayesian Shift Ltd, he engineered a Python microservice trading platform that uses Bayesian time-series methods to trade profitably and has donated over £200k of proceeds to charity. He combines strong statistical rigor—grounded in an MMath and MSc in advanced computing—with hands-on software craftsmanship across Python, C (via Cython), Rust and JS, and practices test-driven development and collaborative code review. His background as a derivatives trader at Optiver gives him deep domain knowledge of markets and metrics, but he now focuses on socially impactful analytics rather than trading roles. Notably, his automated system runs with minimal maintenance (under a day a week) while retaining industrial-grade data pipelines and cloud integrations.
