Didier Lopes studied control systems and electrical engineering in Europe before moving to the United States to build OpenBB, a next-generation financial research workspace.

Frustrated by how fragmented data, analysis, and decision-making tools were across finance and other industries, Didier set out to create a professional-grade platform where teams can bring their data, analytics, and AI into one unified environment.

Before founding OpenBB, he worked on cutting-edge technologies ranging from self-driving cars to wearable fitness devices, following a deep curiosity for complex systems and real-world impact.

In this episode, we talk about building in the age of AI, navigating life as a founder in the U.S., and the nuances of time-series modeling in financial markets.
