I’m Ling(ster)/fish\_n\_chips and looking to xgboost NMR and open it up so that even your NaN can stake her pension on Numerai! But seriously, I’m actually relatively new to the Numerai and Datascience scene since joining the tournament back in May 2025(with the aim of learning DS and 100% of my models are proudly built with AI) and soaking up as much knowledge as possible and resharing where I can(see the github repo with a bag full of goodies). Recently built [https://numeroo.bot](https://numeroo.bot) which allows you to build a model ready to submit to numerai - no tech or datascience skills required, so lowering the bar to entry and hoping this will mean more people can get involved in NMR. [https://numerdiff.imperialai.ai/](https://numerdiff.imperialai.ai/) - another fun little tool to help you compare your model vs others! Background is in software engineering, and was around in the land of tape drives and when the save icon was actually a physical floppy(not!) disc. Only just learning about Sharpe ratios, objective functions and jupyiter notebooks, so I hope to contribute more tools for the mere mortals and bring a different angle to the community. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.numer.ai/t/elder-nominations-open-until-april-27-midnight-utc/8265)._
