Framework Highlights
The Talking Leaves framework was developed for quantitative trading and is actively running our quant hedge fund. The abstract time-series / simulation layer would also add value in adjacent industries.
Our framework is backed by 18+ person-years of focused development and four years of production trading.
Our proprietary framework is comprised of a mathematically abstract layer and a finance-specific layer.
Innovative distributed caching accelerates research by streamlining reproducibility and shared experimentation.
We model everything end-to-end—from raw inputs to outgoing orders—in an optimized, automated framework. Built-in reproducibility, time-aware design, and distributed caching streamline collaboration, allowing the team to focus on true innovation: new markets, new data, new signals, and cutting-edge AI techniques.
Our Team
Founder & CEO
Jade has 18 years of experience in quantitative trading: 9 years advancing all aspects of world-best trading systems at Renaissance Technologies and 5 years assembling a team and building an all-new trading system at Talking Leaves.
Prior to quantitative trading, Jade had a successful academic career in Mathematics, Genome Assembly, and Comparative Genomics.
Jade was co-first author on a pilot study that helped guide genome sequencing priorities after human and mouse. His team’s approach—widely adopted—included using low rather than high coverage to accelerate results, and selecting species that maximized evolutionary diversity to improve comparative analysis.
Jade has served as a Trustee of the National Museum of Mathematics since 2013.
In recreational mathematics, he is known for unique jewelry design of “Pythagorean Earrings”.
“Simplicity is prerequisite for reliability.”– Edsger Dijkstra
