Raw Data
The main data source I am using is BRIS while I also have some data that I collect in real time by scrapping odds feeds; these data are stored in a dropbox following a well know directory structure and specific naming conventions that simplify data discovery and retrieval
VM
Instead of relying on physical boxes, I use Virtual Machines (vagrant), that are easy to build from scratch, in a matter of a few minutes
Data Bases
My primary data bases are mysql, sqlite and mongodb although I also use flat files, which in some cases are best for performance reasons. I use Open Office for research and presentation purposes, although I try to not write lower level code for it
Coding
In most of the cases I use python for coding. Depending on the needs there are some cases where I also use languages like C++, lisp and octave. All the source files are kept in version control (github)
