Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Petosa is an AI research scientist at Two Sigma with 11 years of experience applying deep learning to quantitative finance and real-world systems. A Georgia Tech MS and BS graduate with a perfect GPA, he has built production-ready ML tooling and research prototypes—from deep Q-learning trading agents and time-series classifiers to language-model fine-tuning and anomaly detection. His work spans both research and engineering: creating retrainable gradient-boosted pipelines, LSTM encoder-decoder models for data-to-text generation, and automated fraud-cluster classifiers deployed in large-scale environments. Based in New York, he blends academic rigor with hands-on implementation, often turning research ideas into packaged code and internal tools. Notably, his early projects include a published undergraduate contribution to quantum-chemistry infrastructure and mobile accessibility apps, showing a breadth that extends beyond finance-focused AI.
