Principal software engineer building resilient, low-latency systems across finance and web platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a software engineer who builds resilient, scalable systems from architecture through production operations, with deep experience in algorithmic trading, high-throughput data pipelines, and customer-facing web platforms. I have led end-to-end delivery for crypto and bond-futures trading stacks, improved platform reliability to 99.95% uptime, and scaled capital and throughput while maintaining low-latency execution and robust risk controls.
I partner closely with product and design to turn ambiguous requirements into measurable outcomes, drive performance tuning and observability, and mentor teams to increase delivery capacity. My background includes full-stack product engineering at high-scale consumer and healthcare products, DevOps/SRE practices, and founding/operating a creative business that demonstrates cross-functional leadership and operational rigor.
