Led efforts to assess the effectiveness of a novel, curriculum-based training regime to accelerate the learning curve following an expansion of Aiden's input space without losing previous knowledge, and used PyTorch to batch and parallelize the training processes of multiple instances of Aiden across 8 GPUs.Aiden is RBC's innovative Reinforcement Learning based trading algorithm. The proprietary architecture, reward scheme, and training regime resulted in an industry-leading algorithm that consistently outperformed traditional rules-based algorithms in executing large trades.

Built an automated report generator in Python for evaluating Aiden's performance during training to not only eliminate 1 hr/day of querying the NoSQL database and computing the various performance metrics, but also to allow for more robust performance comparison against a complete history of Aiden instances with different hyper-parameter tunings.
