Summary
🤩
RockstarThomas Breloff is a research developer and full-stack software engineer in New York with over a decade of experience building production-grade systems that fuse novel algorithms, machine learning, and real-time optimization. A former algorithmic trader, he excels at translating mathematical insight into robust software and custom online statistics, iterating research ideas into deployable solutions. He has deep experience across low-level engineering and high-level framework design, and approaches problems as unified optimizations that balance business impact with technical feasibility. An active open-source contributor, he has improved statistical graphics tooling in the Julia ecosystem (notably Gadfly.jl), reflecting his taste for practical, craft-focused enhancements. Perpetually curious and never satisfied with the status quo, he seeks algorithmic edges and invents new techniques when existing tools fall short.
