Data-Driven Intelligence: Precision Engineering

I provide advanced consulting and project management in data science, AI engineering, and time series forecasting. I apply deep theoretical and practical expertise, supporting clients across the entire intelligent systems lifecycle—from exploratory research and prototyping to scalable deployment and continuous optimization.

- Machine Learning & AI Engineering: I develop and integrate predictive models, embedding-based semantic search, and LLM-driven agentic systems. My focus is on robustness, interpretability, and alignment with real-world constraints.

- Time Series Forecasting: I design forecasting pipelines using probabilistic models, deep learning, and hybrid statistical techniques. Solutions are tailored for high-dimensional financial, sensor, environmental, and operational data.

- Data Infrastructure & Hosting: I build custom infrastructure for AI system development and integration. Solutions include containerized microservices in a multi-GPU environment, object storage, and metric-aware observability. I operate an on-prem Kubernetes cluster (300+ cores) and maintain a dedicated hardware lab for full project lifecycle support, from experimentation to production hosting.

- Scientific Research & Technical Consulting: I support research-intensive projects via algorithm design, model evaluation, and reproducible experimentation. My consulting bridges academic rigor with production-grade deliverables.

- Programming & System Design: I implement data pipelines and backend systems in Python, focusing on modularity, I/O performance, and long-term maintainability.

I'm Christian Gloor, a machine learning and data science engineer with two decades of experience building intelligent systems under real-world constraints. Through Christian Gloor Computational Science, I offer consulting, coaching, development, and infrastructure services focused on machine learning, time series forecasting, and data-centric AI engineering.

With a PhD in Distributed Computing from ETH Zurich, I combine academic rigor with deep practical expertise. My experience includes leading R&D at quantitative hedge funds, contributing to mission-critical military software, designing national stock exchange infrastructure, and developing tools for autonomous navigation, simulation, and real-time analytics. See my Project History for more details.

Projekthistorie

Head of IT & Co-Head of Research

Tom Capital AG

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

10-50 Mitarbeiter

We built a global macro hedge fund using machine learning strategies. I oversaw the design, development, and operation of the research and trading infrastructure:

* a Python/Jupyter framework for quantitative research with access to an on-premises compute cluster, cloud services, and two data centers,
* over 400 deployed machine learning models, trading automatically on global futures markets.

I introduced machine learning, established the first set of models, and mentored fellow data science researchers.

Senior Quantitative Developer

Man AHL

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

1000-5000 Mitarbeiter

I joined Man Systematic Strategies, a specialized team for developing new models, later merged into AHL. I designed and implemented

* a dynamic volatility gearing overlay to AHL's Core Momentum strategy. Robust Python code in production trading billions,
* a web-based 3D interface for a volatility prediction strategy that used high-frequency data,
* a dynamic Risk Parity strategy that traded across 70 markets,
* new AI trading models as part of the AHL Machine Learning Initiative.

Embedded System Architect

Sonstiges

10-50 Mitarbeiter

For a Swiss company supplying the Military. I designed and wrote the software for a reconnaissance vehicle prototype.

- User interface for operating the optical and range-finding instruments.
- Embedded server control software that routes messages between subsystems.

Trading System Engineer

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

10-50 Mitarbeiter

I Built a high-frequency algorithmic trading and research platform. It consisted of a systematic trading engine, a lightweight trading client, and a centralized routing network for order submission and tick data gathering. The platform also included risk monitoring and a realistic exchange simulation for backtesting and paper trading.

Trading System Engineer

IFIT AG

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

10-50 Mitarbeiter

The company's growth was limited by its monolithic software. To overcome this challenge, I proposed and led the design and implementation of an extensible distributed infrastructure, enabling the company to scale and offer its services to other boutique hedge funds.

I was responsible for establishing connections with brokers and exchanges to gather market data for research and trading. We used fiber connections for the delivery of high-frequency price and trade data. I designed other modules, including a real-time risk management interface, a backtesting engine to estimate spread, slippage, and trade impact, and a lean central order routing module in Erlang to improve execution speed and reliability.

System Design - Stock Exchange

IFIT AG

Banken und Finanzdienstleistungen

10-50 Mitarbeiter

I Designed and built an electronic stock exchange system that included a matching engine with clearing, settlement, reporting, and compliance functionality. This system was successfully used for a Swiss stock exchange and an in-house matching platform for a major Swiss bank.

From the ground up, we constructed a system for a major Swiss stock exchange. Our system included a matching engine, an array of supporting modules for monitoring, reporting, and maintenance, as well as automated clearing, settlement, and compliance functionalities.

I took on the responsibility of designing the system's overall infrastructure, the network topology and security, and the member access framework. Additionally, I developed the public data and order C/C++ API, which provided efficient access to the exchange's services. My approach to offering VPN-based access over the internet received approval from the Swiss financial authority, making our exchange the first in Europe to offer access without the need for expensive dedicated data lines.

We operated the exchange for several years.

Network Engineer - VoIP

Digicomp Academy AG

Telekommunikation

250-500 Mitarbeiter

I led the introduction of a VoIP infrastructure on top of the existing WAN. VoIP phones did not yet exist, so the endpoints had to be the telco carriers switching devices installed at each satellite office.  The project allowed all internal calls to be routed over the data network transparently, resulting in significant cost savings.
