Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Hatem is a Senior Data Scientist in Boston with a decade of experience designing and deploying quantitative equity strategies that blend machine learning, NLP, and traditional statistical models. He has driven production-ready alpha improvements at State Street and now applies scalable ML and distributed computing at Fidelity, translating research into Spark-enabled pipelines. Comfortable across Python, R, SQL and familiar with TensorFlow/PyTorch, he pairs deep model expertise (from gradient boosting to neural nets and topic modeling) with practical engineering—having moved multi-billion-row datasets into production and improved risk-adjusted returns. His background in physics and financial mathematics informs a data-first, principled approach to factor research, and he has a track record of squeezing signal from unconventional sources (OCR, web traffic, 8-K text) to create tradable edges.
