What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building low-latency trading systems and quantitative models using C++ and Python, emphasizing execution efficiency, rigorous testing, and scalable production deployments.

I am a motivated software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and algorithmic trading. I hold an MSc in Algorithmic Trading and combine software engineering rigor with quantitative finance experience to design production-grade systems.

I have developed C++ real-time systems on Linux, integrated machine data using multi-threaded processing, and built cross-platform applications while collaborating with distributed teams. I am CME-certified, actively trade equity index futures, and design and deploy systematic strategies and high-frequency trading frameworks focused on execution efficiency and alpha generation.

I bring disciplined, performance-driven engineering, a focus on low-latency and reliability, and a collaborative mindset. I seek roles where I can build high-performance trading systems, contribute to quantitative model development, and help deliver scalable, well-tested production software.
