What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my end-to-end experience in quantitative trading, automated systems, algorithm design, backtesting, and live execution to challenging technical work.

I design, backtest, optimise, and deploy automated quantitative trading strategies in MQL5 and C, taking systems from idea generation through live execution in prop trading accounts.

As founder and author of tradingengineeringlab.com, I publish technical research on algorithmic strategies and Italian trading systems engineering. I also wrote Trading Journal and other published works through Amazon KDP.

My background combines quantitative trading with materials engineering research, including solid-state battery theses at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and Politecnico di Torino. At IT Cube, I designed and optimised custom algorithmic and data-processing components for internal client systems.
