About

Hi! I am Jérémie Smaga and this page is a little introduction about myself.

Academy

I studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL). From 2005 to 2008, I did my Bachelor in Computer Science where I learnt the theoretical aspects of programming languages, compilers and algorithmic. I then followed a master program in Financial Engineering where I focused my elective classes in behavioral finance (Neuroeconomics) and computerized aspects of finance (Computational Game Theory, Intelligent Agents).

Professional

At 17, I created my own company, Agams Enterprise. The company was created to provide websites and administration software to different kinds of customer. One of our main projects was to create an administration software for psychiatrists using the new Swiss billing system Tarmed. For my master thesis, I was hired by 4 Elements Capital where I implemented the algorithmic trading platform and a few systematic strategies in the commodity markets. I am now working as an Investment Analyst at Unigestion, where my main task is to contribute to the quantitative asset allocation in the Family Investment Group.

Personal

I was born on March 11th 1986 in Geneva, Switzerland, and I am the proud father of three kids: Nathan, Ariel and Ella. All my kids were born in Asia, where I have been living since 2014 (in Hong Kong until 2022, and in Singapore since then).

As you would probably guess reading my background, I developed a passion for the worlds of finance and computer science. On a more personal note, I am also a big fan of sports. In particular, I follow Manchester United (Football, or soccer – I won’t debate this here, but it’s football…) and Genève Servette HC (Ice Hockey).

I sincerely hope you will enjoy browsing this blog, and if you wish to contact me, you can do so at contact@smaga.ch .
