Computer Science graduate from UWE Bristol (AI/ML specialisation) and founder of Rootlayer. I build and ship ML systems, implement papers, test their claims, and decide how a result will be judged before I see it: pre-registered hypotheses, leakage checks, and baselines a model has to beat.
News Timing Cannot Explain It: A Pre-Registered Replication of Zhang (2025)
Working paper, 2026 · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24087562 · code + paper
A published FinBERT + XGBoost strategy reported Sharpe ratios of 4.6–5.9. In a pre-registered replication, none of 18 variants beats random-sign trading after costs.
