Data · AI · Markets

I turn data and markets into systems that run on their own.

I’m Ilko Vasilev. With the help of AI, I build tools that collect information from hundreds of sources, check it and show what actually matters. I test everything on real data before I call it done.

See the projects Let’s talk
  • 100+news sources scored by AI in real time
  • 30Mone-minute candles in the backtest, from 2003 to today
  • 751,500customer reviews of 12 online stores
  • 24/7a signal system that runs on its own server

Projects

Four systems for four different problems

I started with finance because that is where my interest lies. The same skills work for any company that needs to understand a lot of data quickly and correctly.

  1. 01

    Finance · AI

    Market Sentiment Terminal

    A desktop app that reads more than 100 sources in real time, scores every news item with the FinBERT AI model and shows what is happening in the market and why.

What I do well

Three directions, one approach

I

AI and automation

Systems that run on their own: they check every few minutes, keep a history, send alerts to the phone and come with a browser dashboard. AI models that run on an ordinary computer, with no paid services.

II

Data analysis

Collecting and cleaning data from many places, removing duplicate and wrong records, and turning the analysis into a report with clear conclusions. Every number in the text is checked automatically against the data.

III

Finance and trading

I have studied the markets on my own since 2023: technical and fundamental analysis of crypto, forex, stocks and futures. I test my ideas with backtests, real fees and a comparison against chance.

How I work

I build with AI, I do the checking

I am not a classic programmer. AI writes the code to my specifications. My job is to know what has to be built and to accept nothing that does not work.

  1. Step 1

    I define the task

    I start from the problem: what the system has to do, with what data, and how I will know that it works.

  2. Step 2

    AI writes the code

    I give AI the idea and the requirements. It turns them into Python, JavaScript or Pine Script.

  3. Step 3

    I test and send it back

    I check everything on real data and send it back for fixes until I am satisfied. The sentiment terminal has 22 files of automated tests.

I am looking for work with data, automation or AI: analysis, fintech, operations or support. I prefer remote work, and I am ready to relocate for the right role.
