[QUOTE="idyllic bean-burger, post: 282246, member: 45019"] I am a data-engineer turned software engineer. My intention is to become a quant developer or possibly a quant researcher ([I]although this might not be right for me[/I]). I would like to ask successful quants for advice and resources to aid me in my journey. - Development projects. - Books & courses. - Relevant mathematics to study. - Software to learn. - Relevant machine learning. - Most profitable area of finance technology. To give some context, I am fluent in Python, SQL, VBA and written some R, (haven't written it in years) and I have recently developed my own implementations of descriptive statistics (basics), k-means clustering and now linear and logistic regression. I have [I]weak [/I]mathematics background which I am improving, and ideally would like to greatly accelerate my learning. I didn't finish my degree and feel that I am now past doing one maybe a masters in machine learning and AI once I feel I am sufficiently competent but unsure. Finally, I really appreciate any advice. :):thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
