5 days ago24 proposalsRemoteData classification
I will share a purely categorical dataset and need it turned into a clear, well-documented end-to-end classification workflow that I can study for academic purposes. Using Python with Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and visualisations in Matplotlib or Seaborn, start with an exploratory review, handle all cleaning and preprocessing (encoding, missing values, feature selection), then build and compare suitable classification models. Sound evaluation—accuracy, precision, recall, F1 or any metric you judge relevant—must accompany the models, followed by a concise discussion of the results and why a particular approach performs best. Please highlight your experience with similar projects when you respond; I value demonstrated know-how over long proposals. Deliverables I expect: • A well-commented Jupyter notebook covering EDA, preprocessing, model training, and evaluation • The cleaned dataset (or the code that generates it) • A brief markdown or slide deck that walks through the methodology, findings, and recommended next steps Clarity of explanation is just as important as model accuracy, as the primary goal is learning from your workflow.

11 days ago25 proposalsRemoteDeveloper UK/US Financial News Screener (Python / APIs / Data)
PROJECT OVERVIEW I’m building a financial stock news screener focused initially on UK (AIM & Main Market) and then later US small-cap stocks. The system is designed to filter genuinely market-moving news from daily noise. This is an ongoing build, not a one-off task. I’m looking for one capable individual developer (not an agency) who can own the technical implementation and iterate with me as the logic evolves. Where necessary, I want the option to work side-by-side in person for short periods, so UK or Europe location matters. WHAT THE SYSTEM DOES (HIGH LEVEL) - Ingests real-time and scheduled stock news from multiple APIs (UK & US) - Parses and classifies news using firstly rules, secondly AI - Scores news for market impact (positive / negative / neutral) - Flags dilution, governance and risk signals - Outputs structured alerts and internal dashboards This is a logic-heavy, data-driven project, not a UI-first build. REQUIRED SKILLS (MUST-HAVE) Please do not apply unless you are comfortable with most of the following: - Python (primary language) - Working with REST APIs (news, market data, etc.) - Data parsing, filtering and scoring logic - SQL or NoSQL databases (Postgres, MongoDB or similar) - Clean, readable, maintainable code - Git / version control - Comfortable discussing system design and trade-offs Experience with financial data, trading tools, or market news is a major plus. NICE TO HAVE (NOT ESSENTIAL) - Experience with financial markets, trading, RNS or SEC filings - AI / LLM-based text classification - Elasticsearch or similar search tools - AWS or cloud deployment - Previous SaaS or data-platform builds LOCATION REQUIREMENT (IMPORTANT) You must be based in or near one of the following: - UK - Spain - Western or Southern Europe (easy travel to UK or Spain) Due to the likely evolving nature of the project I want the option to meet in person and potentially work together for short, focused periods if required. Please clearly state your location when applying. ENGAGEMENT TYPE - Individual freelancer only (no agencies) - Long-term potential if the fit is right - Paid hourly or milestone-based (open to discussion) HOW TO APPLY (VERY IMPORTANT) To avoid generic applications, please include: 1. A short description of a similar data-driven or API-heavy project you’ve worked on 2. Your primary tech stack 3. Your current location 4. Your hourly rate 5. Confirmation that you are open to occasional in-person collaboration Applications that ignore this will not be considered. WORKING STYLE I’m an equities/indices trader with 30 years experience, reasonably technical but not a developer. I value clear thinking, no nonsense honest communication, and someone who challenges bad ideas rather than blindly coding them.
