As the lead scientist on AWS (Amazon Web Services) CodeWhisperer, Arnold is a proven expert in machine learning and artificial intelligence. With its proprietary prediction models and quantitative investment approach, Delphia has the fifth highest-performing equity long-short fund, by single-year performance, in hedge fund history. With Arnold’s addition to the team, the Company is doubling down on the combination of AI and proprietary data as a way to continuously outperform the market and previous industry benchmarks.

“We believe Andrew Arnold’s track record, in both AI and quantitative investing, will allow us to become the preeminent quantitative investment manager on the market,” said Andrew Peek, CEO and Co-Founder of Delphia. “His ability to lead the launch of a highly complex service at one of the world’s most renowned innovators, AWS, makes him an incredible addition to our team.

Prior to joining Delphia, Arnold led a team of applied researchers and scientists at AWS, where the team launched CodeWhisperer, an AI pair programming tool, similar to GitHub’s Copilot, that can autocomplete entire functions based on only a comment or a few keystrokes. Before that, Arnold held various leadership positions at prominent global organizations in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and quantitative trading. Andrew holds a PhD in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University and a BA in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from Columbia University. He is also an Adjunct Professor in NYU’s Department of Finance and Risk Engineering, where he lectures on natural language processing and machine learning applied to quantitative trading and finance.

Arnold commented on the news, “I’m thrilled to start working with this team of talented individuals to expand on the data-driven investment framework Delphia has built. It’s not every day that an institutional-grade investment algorithm makes its way into the hands of everyday people. As markets continue to evolve, data will remain the most essential differentiator needed to stay ahead and I’m excited to contribute to the incredible amount of innovation already happening within the team.”
