The work

I built Python tools for data acquisition, caching, structured logging, scenario comparisons, tests and report generation. AlphaFoundry separates research, portfolio construction, validation and execution simulation into modules.

A measured example

In a separate C++ sparse matrix-vector multiplication benchmark, I improved recorded throughput from approximately 0.28 to 1.3 GFLOP/s, about 4.6 times the baseline. The work used OpenMP and memory-access optimization, including cache-aware reasoning and prefetching.

Why the structure matters

The inputs, baseline, change and test conditions need to remain visible. Reproducible workflows make it possible to revisit an experiment and compare the result with the next version.

Evidence & scope

Independent research code and benchmark records. The GitHub link leads to my public repository collection.

The benchmark is specific to its test conditions. Financial-data experiments are research, not a record of investment returns.
