Speaking at Pycon UK 2025

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last month, I had the opportunity to speak at PyCon UK for the very first time—and what an experience it was!

For those who haven’t attended before, PyCon UK is more than just a conference about Python. It’s a celebration of community. Each year, it brings together people from diverse backgrounds—engineers, researchers, educators, hobbyists—to share ideas, learn from one another, and showcase the many ways Python is being used across fields.

Plotly and Dash Cookbook

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This book offers practical, hands-on recipes covering a wide range of techniques and tools, making it an essential resource for both beginners and experienced users of Plotly and Dash.

The goal is to serve as a comprehensive guide for researchers, and practitioners looking to create dynamic, interactive visualizations and dashboards.

Yield Curves Visualisation

Wed, 01 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This dash app contains interactive charts illustrating the risk-free Yield Curves for the US and the UK. It was written in Python using the graphing open source library Plotly.

Visualisations

The app consists of the following 4 interactive charts:

An animated scatter with line plot illustrating the evolution of the yield curve over time. It allows us to appreciate the different shapes that it has taken, and how it compares with the present curve.
A 3-D surface displaying the structure of the curve over time. This chart follows the style from the article “A 3-D View of a Chart That Predicts The Economic Future: The Yield Curve” published by The New York Times.
A Heatmap showing the yield curve evolution over time in two dimensions. It is worth noting that the heatmap provides the same picture as the 3-D surface when viewed from above.
Finally, an area-chart illustrating the spread yield, i.e. the difference between long and short term interest rates.

The Yield Curve

In finance, the yield curve is a graph which depicts how the yields on debt instruments – such as bonds – vary as a function of their years remaining to maturity.

Understanding Quantitative Finance

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This is a collection of notes exploring a number of topics in Quantitative Finance (QF). The idea is to use Python 🐍to illustrate the theoretical concepts and help you to get a better understanding of each topic.

My aim is to provide an open-source repository where people interested in a career in QF can find these concepts covered in a rigorous manner while keeping the practitioners point of view into consideration.

Aleatory (/ˈeɪliətəri/) introduces objects representing stochastic processes, and provides functionality to:

fanchart

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The term fanchart was coined by the Bank of England in 1996. Since then, central banks around the world have used these charts to illustrate its forecasts for inflation, GDP, and other economy measures.

two-piece

Overview

The twopiece library provides a Python implementation of the family of Two Piece distributions. It covers three subfamilies Two-Piece Scale, Two-Piece Shape, and Double Two-Piece. The following diagram shows how these families relate.
