About Abdessamad

Engineer from École Centrale Lyon, with 9 years of experience including 6 years in data science, in the design of quantitative models and data products in the financial sector.

As a Senior Data Scientist at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), I designed and developed quantitative models and data products for institutional asset managers, from raw data collection to production-ready datasets (macroeconomics, finance, sustainability (ESG), and climate risk) serving systematic investment strategies.

Previous experience as a mathematical modeling and numerical simulation engineer (Python) in the nuclear sector at Framatome (formerly AREVA NP).

Centralien engineering degree with a strong focus on applied mathematics, statistics, physics, numerical simulation, programming, and energy.

Tech Stack: Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn, Statsmodels, Matplotlib, Seaborn), SQL, AWS (S3, Redshift, EC2, Athena, Lambda), Git, Jenkins, Docker.

    Design and development of quantitative models and data products for institutional asset managers, from raw data collection to production-ready datasets (macroeconomics, finance, sustainability (ESG), and climate risk) serving systematic investment strategies.

    • Implementation of statistical and machine learning models (supervised, PCA, clustering, composite indicators) and construction of quantitative features on macroeconomic, financial, sustainability, and climate risk time series to transform raw data into actionable signals for systematic investment strategies.

    • Model validation through cross-sectional analysis and time-based backtesting.

    • Identification, evaluation, and integration of new datasets based on investor use cases and research needs.

    • Implementation of large-scale data quality control workflows (missing, outlier, or inconsistent values).

    • Development of production data applications on AWS, optimizing execution times and memory usage, automating workflows, and implementing robust testing and validation frameworks.

    • Selection of delivered data products:
    - ESG scoring of countries with bias mitigation related to income level.
    - Sovereign default risk scoring based on macroeconomic, financial, and ESG data.
    - Scoring of countries' exposure to climate risk.
    - Scoring of countries on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
