danzell: Head of Over-Engineering
Hi fam! I’m danzell, a 37-year-old ML Engineer from Frankfurt Germany.
If you check my Numerai profile, it says “Joined 10 years ago” (OG status confirmed).
While I grew up on Kaggle, I’ve spent the last decade perfecting the art of over-engineering neural networks for the numerai classic tournament.
If there’s a way to point a massive neural cannon at a tiny feature-subset-bird, I’ve probably found it.
You might know me from Discord for:
-
Transparency: Regularly sharing my validation metrics and model scores.
-
Contribution: Open-sourcing the Intraround Candle App and sharing research ideas.
-
Vigilance: Reporting bugs. and swinging the Iron Hammer on scammers.
-
Philanthropy: I take pride in being a deflationary force. Every NMR I’ve burned has paved the way for your gains. I’m not losing; I’m just helping the rest of the fam earn more.
Why me for the Council?
I am both a builder and an advocate. I love talking about Numerai and have represented the tournament as a speaker at events like Big Data AI World and our local Frankfurt Numerai Meetups.
As an Elder, I plan to:
-
Be a Community Conduit: Always keep an ear on Discord to bridge the gap between users and the team.
-
Continue the Open-Source Ethos: Share stuff like apps and technical insights to help everyone level up.
-
Spread the Word: Keep promoting the tournament locally and globally.
Make NMR great again!
