I have led and grown engineering teams of 40+, architected trading, pricing and post-trade platforms, and driven digital transformation initiatives including GenAI adoption and strategic platform onboarding.

My background spans exchange connectivity, risk, settlements, regulatory reporting and electronic trading, with hands-on expertise in modern C++, Java, Python, cloud (Azure), messaging systems and performance tuning. I partner closely with product and global stakeholders to align technology with business outcomes and consistently improve system performance and operational efficiency.
