Steve has experience of the electronic-commerce and financial sectors, having worked for a number of SMEs and blue-chip companies, with a total of over ten years of commercial software engineering experience. He co-founded a startup company, Ripple Software Ltd., which developed econometric analysis tools for powersellers in the eBay market place, and later Victria Ltd which delivered a prototype dark-pool trading platform. He is interested in developing methods for using big data sets to systematically calibrate agent-based simulation models, in order to try and better understand the role of learning and adaptation in explaining some of the phenomena that are observed in empirical financial time-series data, which cannot be accounted for by the classical theoretical models in this field.
