My name is Ran Aroussi. I live with my wife and my three four kids in Israel London, UK. I'm an entrepreneur, programmer, algorithmic trader, and a technology geek.

This site's goal is to be an outlet where I share blurbs on tech, business,finance, and life. My thoughts are my own and any comments I make regarding trading or programming should be taken with a grain of salt.

TL;DR

I started my first business at the age of 17, entered the technology and marketing space in 1998, founded the world's first performance marketing school in 2005, and gained my "street cred" with the multi-million dollar launch of PPC Bully in 2009.

In 2020, I founded Tradologics, a cloud platform for programmatic traders (currently in hibernation mode), and I currently run Automaze, which offers CTO-as-a-Service to help entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life, and businesses build and scale their tech operations.

Additionally, I use my decades of software development and data-science experience to develop and run algorithmic trading strategies using quantitative and machine learning models.

CAREER OVERVIEW

I'm a self-taught programmer who started coding in the late 1980’s after receiving an IBM PC as a Bar-Mitzvah gift. In 1995, I launched a web development firm that evolved into a technology and marketing company as the internet grew.

I have extensive experience in cloud computing, databases, distributed systems, API and frontend and backend development. My favorite go-to languages include Python, JavaScript/Node.js, PHP, and Shell scripting.

Beyond coding, I’ve worked extensively in online marketing, mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs and helping them build successful online businesses. In 2005, I founded ClickIM, the world's first and Israel's most prominent (physical) school for performance marketing, where I taught over 5,000 students, and made many of them rich.

In 2009, I led a multi-million-dollar product launch for MyAdWise (later renamed Intango), which introduced me to the AdTech industry, where I developed models for both the buy and sell sides of online media exchanges.

In 2013, I shifted my focus to algorithmic trading, combining my passion for technology and capital markets to create fully automated trading strategies using quantitative and machine learning models.

In 2016, my then-youngest daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia, causing me to take a three-year break from business activities.

As a strong supporter of open-source software, I’ve released several popular Python libraries, including yfinance, which has over 3 million downloads per month. My open-source projects and contributions can be found on my my Github page.

If you're thinking of hiring me for a project, know that my ideal job is one that will combine my passions for programming and finance and be paid handsomely :-). I believe that I can provide significant value to anyone I end up working with.

In 2020, I founded Tradologics, a cloud platform for trading. Tradologics aimed to help traders and investors develop, test, run, and scale their trading strategies in the cloud without worrying about broker connectivity, data management, or infrastructure. The platform is currently in hibernation mode.

In 2023, I founded Automaze, a company that provides CTO-as-a-Service, helping startups and businesses build, scale, and automate their technology operations. Automaze enables companies to leverage expert technical leadership without the need for a full-time CTO, streamlining development and scaling efforts efficiently.
