Jordan Bell

Data Scientist
Toronto, Ontario
Mathematician moving into data science (programming, databases, and machine learning). Experience in capstone project for George Brown College doing loading, cleaning, transformation and feature selection of time series financial data. Produced visualizations, performed descriptive statistics, and created and evaluated predictive models for metrics associated to asset pairs (e.g. ETHUSD and TRXBTC). This was done principally in Python with the libraries pandas (resampling dataframes indexed by datetimes), NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, Scikit-learn, statsmodels, tsfresh, and TA-Lib. I am moving towards the overlap of financial services and data science. I am comfortable at a detailed level working with stochastic processes and stochastic integration and also information theory (especially formalizations of entropy), and I seeking internship applying these skills on a data science team in financial services. Broadly, I am seeking an internship position doing machine learning or predictive analytics.

Work Experience

Consilium Crypto

Data Science Intern
|

Feb 2019 - Current

As a capstone project with George Brown College, worked to clean and feature engineer time series data of cryptocurrency pairs; make descriptive statistics and visualizations of the cleaned and engineered data sets; and build and evaluate predictive models for different target variables. The data cleaning, transformation, exploration, and predictive modeling were done in Python, in particular pandas and scikit-learn, and other libraries such as matplotlib.pyplot and Plotly, tsfresh, SciPy, and TA-Lib.

University of Toronto

Mathematics Course Instructor
|

Apr 2013 - Apr 2017

Course instructor for undergraduate mathematics courses at the University of Toronto, at the St. George campus mostly and also several semesters at the Mississauga and Scarborough campuses.

  • My first instructing position was a summer differential equations course, for which I was the sole instructor of a one section course. I set the syllabus according to the official calendar and past courses and my own instincts, assigned the textbook and planned and delivered the lectures to over 100 students. I have also been part of teaching teams for multiple section courses, both when there is a designated senior instructor and when there is a consensus system without a senior instructor. For most courses I have taught I made course homepages and posted practice tests and practice final exams made from scratch; make enough questions and some go into the real exam some go into the practice exam.
  • The three courses I taught different versions of were differential equations, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus.
