Acuity Trading is pleased to announce that Computer Science student Albert Puigvert will join us as part of our renowned internship program via the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC).
Now in his final year of his degree, Albert is a passionate data scientist and finance enthusiast who has always been fascinated by how machine learning can be leveraged to solve complex tasks that would be difficult or impossible to solve using traditional approaches.
Albert’s main task during his internship at Acuity will be to generate alarms for specific financial events taken from or linked to news events. For example, alarms or alerts would be triggered by key events such as a new product launch, company events and upheavals, and geopolitical events with direct financial implications.
This project will also extend to detecting price changes that follow an alert being triggered, which would enable traders and brokers to make more informed decisions sooner, even when circumstances are changeable.
“My aim is to evolve in the field and be able to learn and provide the maximum value I can,” said Albert. It’s an ethos we find inspiring and which very much aligns with his role with Acuity Trading.
We’re excited to work with Albert and can’t wait to see what his passion, skill and expertise will bring to Acuity’s Data Science team.
