Yannick Roy, PhD
Head of AI @ Almanak · AI × Quant Leadership
I lead multidisciplinary teams that turn ambitious AI research into products people trust—across DeFi, quantitative finance and beyond. I designed the agentic framework behind $200M+ AUM in strategies, and I still ship code weekly.

// SYSTEM.PIPELINE
5 of 12 cooperating agents — designed from scratch, shipped to thousands of users, generating live DeFi strategies in production.
// CAPABILITIES
Multi-agent orchestration that survives contact with real capital — not demos. Multi-model routing across leading providers, evals, guardrails, and the ML pipelines underneath (ETL → train → serve).
Smart contracts to strategy execution: Solidity, web3.py, Anvil, Tenderly — shipped across 7 chains and the protocols that matter.
PhD in neuroscience (closed-loop BCI systems). Author of the first Deep Learning for EEG review — 1,500+ citations. I treat strategies like experiments: hypothesis, test, reproduce.
I ship code weekly and run the roadmap. Founded and scaled NeuroTechX to 19,000+ members in 30+ chapters. Teams I build are fast, ego-less, and user-obsessed.
// HISTORY.LOG
DeFi stack for quants. Own everything AI from PoC to production — shipped the agentic framework powering $200M+ AUM, coordinating R&D, infra, engineering, data, and UX.
Built the largest international neurotech community: 19,000+ members, 30+ chapters, 300+ events. Exited the consulting arm (NTX Services).
Closed-loop cognitive training systems. Deep learning on EEG — noisy, non-stationary time-series. The experimental discipline transfers: hypothesis, test, reproduce.
Real-time and embedded systems in C/C++ — flight simulators, telecom, industrial 3D vision across 10+ countries.
// FIELD.NOTES
A decade of building communities, teaching, and speaking — 300+ events organized through NeuroTechX, lectures in advanced C programming at ÉTS, and panels from research venues to policy roundtables.
The same loop every time: learn in the weeds, build with the field, teach what works. That loop is now pointed at AI agents for markets.
