What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and own end-to-end event-driven trading systems—data pipelines, execution managers, and low-latency backtesting—where research-to-production consistency and strong engineering standards matter.

I’m a quant developer with 5+ years building and operating trading systems in production, bridging research and live execution with consistency across simulation, strategy validation, and trading. I’ve led development, deployment, and operation of mid-frequency trading strategies, owning infrastructure that manages multi-million USD capital—backtesting engines, data/execution frameworks, and monitoring systems.

In my most recent role, I was the first engineer in the fund’s history and led the development area, helping run strategy control and portfolio operations. I created and owned production trading infrastructure—datastreams, execution modules, a strategy event-driven framework, monitoring subsystems, and user interfaces—achieving wire-to-wire order latency (P95) around 0.2 milliseconds and deploying 30+ MFT strategies; I later redesigned the engine into a low-latency HFT ecosystem with a shared Python/C++ codebase and a high-performance, event-driven backtesting module.
