DESCRIPTION:Jane Street works differently. We are a quantitative trading f
 irm active on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries. As a liqui
 dity provider and market maker\, we help form the backbone of global marke
 ts. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysi
 s\, but our success is driven by our people.\n\nAt Jane Street\, we rely o
 n OCaml to build industrial strength systems that handle terabytes of info
 rmation per day. However in the last few years Python has proven to be a t
 ool of choice for data analysis. In this talk we present how we expose a w
 ide variety of OCaml libraries and services so that they can be accessed f
 rom Python giving us the best of both worlds. End users can use Python not
 ebooks and their favorite libraries to manipulate huge datasets\, and OCam
 l is used behind the hood for the heavy lifting.\n\nAbout Laurent: Laurent
  first joined Jane Street as a developer in 2013\, working on various trad
 ing systems. After a short stint in the world of AI in 2017\, he came back
  a year later and has since been working as a researcher on the London equ
 ities desk. His current projects involve some strategy research and develo
 pment as well as working on python-ocaml integration.\n\nZoom link to join
