Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOleksandr Proskurin is a founder and product-first quantitative technologist with a decade of experience building trading systems, ML-driven alpha models, and DeFi infrastructure. As Co-Founder and CPO at Arkis he’s pushing multichain, undercollateralized leverage products, while running market-neutral strategies through Machine Factor Technologies. He previously co-founded Hudson & Thames and Principia Invest, where he productionized advanced quant libraries—co-authoring parts of the mlfinlab ecosystem—and implemented novel features like information-driven bars and sequentially bootstrapped bagging. Comfortable spanning research, engineering and product, he translates academic techniques (neural nets, entropy and microstructure features) into deployable, risk-managed strategies. Based in London with an MBA in Econometrics and a systems-analysis background, he blends deep quantitative rigor with startup execution. A less obvious strength is his track record of shipping research as reusable libraries, effectively adding “PhD-level” capabilities to client pipelines.
