Prior to its founding in 2024, the seeds of Solis Consulting were planted through hands-on experience in finance, data science, and technology.

January 2023

A key contributor to the "Real-world Data Science with Credit Suisse (now UBS)" initiative at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) early SC founders collaborated with financial analysts and data scientists to apply neural networks in predicting market volatility by sector. This high-level research experience provided direct exposure to quantitative finance, algorithmic modeling, and AI-driven market analysis.

The team developed and tested machine learning models to analyze financial data, assessing the effectiveness of deep learning techniques in forecasting sector-specific volatility. This required integrating large datasets, refining model parameters, and evaluating predictive accuracy against real-world market trends.

This work provided invaluable experience in financial modeling, algorithmic trading strategies, and AI-driven decision-making. The project reinforced the complexity of financial markets and the expanding role of artificial intelligence in predictive analytics. More importantly, it demonstrated the power of advanced data science methodologies in tackling real-world financial challenges—a principle that continues to drive Solis Consulting today.

A year later, the program transitioned to a partnership with UBS, a global financial firm, which provided NCSSM with an unrestricted $100,000 gift to support its ongoing initiatives. Representatives from UBS engaged directly with students, reinforcing the impact of industry collaboration on education and innovation.

Early immersion in the intersection of finance, data science, and technology laid the groundwork for the company’s future direction. The experience cultivated an analytical mindset and problem-solving approach that now define Solis Consulting’s mission to deliver cutting-edge AI and data solutions to businesses and institutions.
