Founder Bio: Dmitry Lesnik, Stratyfy Co-Founder and Chief Data Scientist. Dmitry began working on Stratyfy's core technology over 10 years ago while working as quantitative analyst, experiencing the inefficiencies and headaches of working with traditional financial modeling techniques. He spent 12 years developing pricing models, hedging strategies, and risk assessment models for trading desks. Here, Dmitry gained significant experience in software development projects—from concept to integration in the firm's trading systems. He has a deep understanding of financial business concepts, including portfolio management, risk management, pricing theory, and financial markets dynamics. He has obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in Germany. He studied cognitive science and worked on research projects in the interdisciplinary areas of machine learning, mathematical logic and neurophysiology. Dmitry developed algorithms for boosting the performance of rules-based classifiers. After leaving academia, Dmitry worked in Research at Philips Ltd., which was a combination of deep theoretical research and hands-on practical experience.
