About Tim Izmailov
Tim Izmailov is Chief Technology Officer at FlirtaGPT. Location: United States.
With a foundation in nuclear physics and over a decade in financial markets, I specialize in time-series modeling, machine learning, and AI-powered trading systems — applying data science to build scalable, research-grade algorithms for dynamic markets. My projects span full-stack trading AI systems: from building predictive models achieving 0.67-0.68 F1 score on out-of-sample trend forecasts to architecting reinforcement learning agents with a custom Gym environment, 35k+ parameter observations, and proprietary reward shaping for high-signal trade discovery across market regimes. I’ve also designed 500+ PineScript strategies (non-optimized, Sharpe >2.5) and managed portfolios with controlled drawdowns and recovery-focused architecture. As well, I lead the design and deployment of FlirtaGPT, a generative AI platform combining large language models with RAG pipelines for dynamic, personality-driven conversations. The project showcases advanced use of NLP, prompt engineering, and production-scale inference. Key Areas: • Financial Data Science & ML – time-series modeling, trend forecasting, signal processing, and statistical modeling for risk and alpha generation. • Reinforcement Learning for Trading – custom PPO agents with proprietary reward shaping, multi-timeframe state spaces, action masking, and real-time execution. • Strategy Design & Infrastructure – unique basic ideas, modular multi-TF bots, dynamic TP/SL logic, and slippage-aware execution. • Quantitative Research – factor analysis, market regime decomposition, statistical arbitrage, and hypothesis-driven backtesting. • Tech Stack – Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, Stable-Baselines3, Pandas, NumPy, TA-Lib, PineScript, Backtrader, TSLab, CCXT, MT5/Bybit APIs.
