Michael Bílý

As an accomplished ML and Data Specialist, I bring extensive experience in developing and implementing innovative data solutions across various industries. Currently, I am a co-founder of a market forecasting team at Trisolaris AG, where I specialize in creating predictive models and strategic insights for the Crypto and Power sectors. My expertise in Big Data technologies, machine learning, data systems design, and other technologies supports my ability to deliver impactful results. Prior to this role, I worked as a Data Engineer at Unit8 SA, designing and implementing data model solutions for a banking client. My background also includes serving as a Big Data Consultant at Adastra Czech Republic, where I contributed to the development of Big Data Hadoop platforms and data pipelines for Vodafone, focusing on monitoring, data quality, and automation.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Michael Bily has an actual past/present salaried technical role at employers that verifiably operate in quantitative/algorithmic trading: Data Engineer at Unit8 SA, Senior Data Engineer at Second Foundation, and co-founder of a market-forecasting team at Trisolaris AG. Second Foundation is a Prague-founded algorithmic energy-trading firm (Bloomberg: one of Europe's biggest intraday power traders; its own site: 'a leader in algorithmic energy trading'); Trisolaris AG (Zug) does crypto and power market forecasting and employs intraday power traders. Identity is supported by the education/employer chain matching the IMO 2011 Czech contestant. Caveat: his roles are data-engineering / forecasting, not a documented trading-desk or quant-research seat.Mar 17, 2025
• Second Foundation grew from nowhere to one of Europe's biggest intraday power traders in five years, handling roughly 30% of European intraday power trading volume on some days per Bloomberg coverage, placing Bily's current employer at the core of European power-market quant trading.Feb 5, 2026
• Second Foundation is a Prague-founded (2019) algorithmic energy-trading company; its site calls itself 'a leader in algorithmic energy trading and one of the highest-grossing intraday traders in Germany' and describes transferring trading strategies 'from the financial markets to energy trading', so the employer genuinely operates in quantitative finance rather than merely carrying a 'quant'-like name.Mar 17, 2025
• Currently co-founder of a market-forecasting team at Trisolaris AG (Zug, Switzerland), building predictive models for the Crypto and Power sectors - quantitative forecasting for trading-oriented markets; Trisolaris also employs intraday power traders, so the employer is trading-adjacent (LinkedIn index-based claim).Jan 1, 2025
• Won a Bronze Medal for Czech Republic at IMO 2011 (18 points: 7/1/0/6/4/0), rank 202 of 563 - the official IMO result anchoring the identity.Jul 1, 2011
• No trading-desk, quant-research, or investment-role title (trader, quant, strategist) was found for him at any employer; all documented titles are data/ML engineering, so any claim that he personally runs trading strategies is unsupported by the available evidence.
• Michael Bily is listed in Second Foundation's Data Engineering team page as Senior Data Engineer alongside a Lead Data Engineer and five other data engineers, corroborating current employer/role beyond the LinkedIn index (the team page is aggregator-sourced and marked 'Unverified', so it is corroboration, not primary-source confirmation).
• Work-history labels from the LinkedIn index: Data Engineer at Unit8 SA, AI Developer at Blindspot Solutions, Big Data Consultant at Adastra Czech Republic, Teacher at Charles University in Prague - a data/ML engineering track rather than a trading-desk track.
• Charles University in Prague education: Master's in Mathematical Analysis (2014-2017), Bachelor's in Economics (2013-2016), and a Bachelor's programme as Organizer of Mathematical Correspondence Seminar (2011-2014); the mathematics degree matches olympiad-level ability and the economics degree markets interest.
• Second Foundation presents itself as a 'technology company with mathematics in its DNA' employing mathematicians and computer scientists to build 'market-leading trading strategies through advanced machine learning' - the ML/data-engineering role fits that stated stack rather than a pure trading seat.
• His own LinkedIn activity announces joining Unit8 as a career move and describes him as 'AI & Data Specialist | Team Lead at Trisolaris AG', consistent with the index-derived roles.Aug 1, 2021
• Regional press (Klatovsky denik, 2011-04-06) profiled him as a Klatovy gymnasium student who reached the national mathematics olympiad and prepared from English-language books - an independent non-index trace predating his professional career.Apr 6, 2011
