Hello, my name is Josep Oriol Carné, and I'm a Software Engineer with extensive experience in the FinTech and banking sectors. I'm deeply passionate about algorithmic trading and machine learning.
I share my insights on genetic programming, software development and randomness in the blog:
- Python & Java: My primary tools for constructing the backbone of scalable, efficient applications.
- A Nod to the Classics: With a respectful bow to COBOL, LotusScript, and WebFOCUS, I acknowledge the roads less traveled (by newer generations, at least).
- Frameworks: Proficient in utilizing Flask, Django, and FastAPI for Python; Spring Boot for Java; and not forgetting the versatile PHP, to develop applications that not only stand the test of time but also scale efficiently across diverse environments.
- Machine Learning: Deeply engrossed in the world of machine learning, employing libraries like TensorFlow and PyTorch alongside Python to unlock predictive insights.
- Database Proficiency:
- PostgreSQL for comprehensive query capabilities and scalability,
- ChromaDB for applications related to AI and vector databases
- Oracle for secure, enterprise-level data management, and
- DB2, integrated with COBOL, to extend the legacy systems' vitality for another 60 years
- 🛠 Productivity Tools Enthusiast: Exploring productivity tools is one of my favorite hobby that ironically consumes more time than it saves. It's a paradox I live with, in pursuit of the ultimate workflow.
- ☕ Coffee Connoisseur: My day is fuelled by coffee meticulously reheated in the microwave and slightly overcooked.
- 📰 News Intake: I stay connected to the world through a few curated mix of monthly newsletters and lively discussions with friends and family. Zero TV, zero newspapers, and absolutely no social media news.
- Project Mutatrader: At the forefront of my current projects is Mutatrader, a venture into the genetic programming aimed at evolving sophisticated investment and trading strategies. Like Charles Darwin with a brokerage account.
- Beyond Code: When not coding, I embark on ultrarunning quests. With five 100-mile races under my belt and a sixth on the horizon. What doesn't kill you...
Whether you wish to discuss some projects, exchange ultrarunning tales, or debate the merits of reheated coffee, my digital door is always open.
