MIAMI, FL, November 26, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Mikhail A. Urinson has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Urinson is distinguished by a career defined by transformative leadership at the intersection of finance, technology, and data science. Since 2024, he has served as the founder and chief executive officer of Ark Quant Crypto, where he directs the development of advanced quantitative trading strategies for the cryptocurrency market. Drawing on his institutional finance background, he adapts sophisticated AI- and data-driven models for the retail investor community, emphasizing transparency, statistical rigor, and systematic risk control. His work forms a core component of Legacy Quant, a broader initiative to build retail oriented institutional-grade trading platform. The platform integrates independent verification of strategies through an expert investment committee, live leaderboards, real-time portfolio analytics, gamified user engagement, and a backend infrastructure leveraging more than 1,000 data points across 25 sources.

Since 2010, Dr. Urinson has also served as founder of ALUR ID LLC, where he integrated data science and Building Information Modeling (BIM) into large-scale real estate development. Inspired by early exposure to BIM innovations at a 2014 San Diego industry conference, he recognized the technology's potential to unify 3D modeling, cost estimation and project planning across complex construction initiatives. Serving as a liaison between Russian engineering teams and American software developers, he facilitated the successful implementation of advanced BIM capabilities across multiple major projects. His work strengthened operational efficiency, improved communication between stakeholders and significantly enhanced project accuracy.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Urinson managed the institutional quantitative trading desk at his family's bank until its sale in 2012. For almost a decade, he led a team of 30 PhDs and quantitative specialists, applying best practices learned in the United States while bridging cultural, technical, and organizational gaps within the Russian financial sector. His unique ability to translate complex mathematical models into actionable strategies for directors, investment committees and technical teams remains a signature strength throughout his career.

Dr. Urinson's academic credentials form a strong foundation for his interdisciplinary work. He earned a Master of Science in Data Science and Programming from St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Florida, in 2024; a Doctor of Science (ScD) in Economics and Statistics from Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics in 2005; and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance from Bentley University in 2003. His academic trajectory has consistently complemented his professional initiatives, reinforcing his ability to integrate scientific methodology with applied decision-making.

Throughout his journey, Dr. Urinson has been guided by influential mentors whose expertise shaped his approach to innovation and problem-solving. Early collaborations with accomplished mathematicians deepened his understanding of quantitative modeling beyond formal academics, while partnerships with American BIM pioneers broadened his technological perspective. He currently collaborates with Robert Kendall, a legacy quant trader whose decades-long dedication to data-driven methodologies continues to form Dr. Urinson's own vision on how to bring institutional-grade quant tools to the retail sector.

His pivot into cryptocurrency was catalyzed by geopolitical events illustrating the practical value of digital assets for cross-border transfers. Initially skeptical due to his traditional banking background, he became convinced of crypto's structural importance following the onset of conflict in Russia in 2022. This experience accelerated his commitment to adapting institutional-grade models for volatile environments and building platforms centered on transparency, objective risk management and user education.

A defining quality of Dr. Urinson's career is his exceptional ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language for diverse audiences — from engineers and developers to policymakers, investors, and everyday traders. His dual experience as both institutional leader and retail-market participant gives him a uniquely balanced perspective on the challenges faced by each group. He takes pride in his communication skills, using them to empower users, train teams and advance thought leadership within algorithmic trading and FinTech.

Looking ahead, Dr. Urinson is preparing to present at leading industry conventions and working on several academic publications in collaboration with professors and mentors using Deep Scholar Style frameworks. He is also planning to pursue an Doctorate in Finance with one of the leading schools in USA as well as to continue actively collaborate within his current University of Saint Thomas School of Data Science to implement ongoing research, education, talent development and practical engagement.

Born in Russia in 1981, Dr. Urinson moved to the United States at age 17 for private schooling and later pursued an international academic and professional path. Outside of work, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, mountain travel and time with his family. He is committed to advancing scientific research by modernizing proven institutional frameworks for contemporary markets and automating decision-making processes within wealth management. Above all, he remains dedicated to bridging the gap between institutional finance and retail investors through innovative technological solutions.

He is the proud father of four children, each actively involved in academic and athletic pursuits, including national-level competitive gymnastics. His commitment to family life and professional excellence anchors a legacy defined by adaptability, vision, and cross-disciplinary leadership.
