# Daniel Margolis

**Headline:** Professional profile
**Location:** Houston, TX, USA

## About

Daniel Margolis is a Houston-based candidate interested in well-paid AI work and flexible about the right opportunity. Daniel is strongest in applying practical machine-learning and data-engineering methods to market-data problems, with experience building focused pipelines from five-minute open-high-low-close and volume data. During a thesis project, Daniel built a convolutional neural network for S&P 500 options trading that generated a significant profit. The thesis also became a major containerization learning experience: Daniel refactored code that had been contained in a single file into a containerized setup. Daniel’s approach to the trading model emphasized keeping the data simple and focused. Daniel is ready to begin tomorrow and values autonomy in work arrangements.
