GeorgeLazos/README.md

Hi, I'm George

I've just finished an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Queen Mary University of London, after a First-Class BSc in Computer Science at the University of Portsmouth. I build machine learning systems end to end, from data pipelines to trained models and deployment.

My work spans deep learning, reinforcement learning, time series and physics-informed neural networks, applied to medical imaging, finance and space science.

I'm looking for ML and AI engineering, data science and quant research roles in London.

Featured projects

  • RL vs Traditional Portfolio Allocation: my MSc dissertation. PPO agents allocating capital across 119 assets, tested against Markowitz, minimum variance, risk parity and 1/N with point-in-time data and realistic trading costs.
  • Pneumonia Detection CNN: my BSc dissertation. A CNN built from scratch in NumPy and Numba, with no deep learning frameworks, classifying chest X-rays.
  • Cloud Fraud Detector: a PySpark fraud classifier on GCP, provisioned with Terraform, containerised with Docker and scoring transactions in real time from Pub/Sub. AUC-ROC 0.96.
  • AI in Astrophysics and Space Science: eight MSc assignments applying Bayesian models, Gaussian processes, CNNs and physics-informed neural networks to space physics data.
  • URA Volatility Forecasting: a stacked LSTM forecasting 21-day realised volatility on a uranium ETF, benchmarked against GARCH(1,1).
  • Market Making Hackathon: price prediction and quote generation for live market-making rounds.

Tech

  • Languages: Python, C++, SQL, JavaScript
  • ML: PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, NumPy, pandas
  • Data and cloud: PySpark, GCP, Docker, Terraform, Git
