What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role blending product and engineering leadership where I can own roadmap, drive low-latency trading or portfolio analytics products, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver measurable client and revenue impact.

I am a product and engineering leader with nine years of experience building client-facing trading, risk and portfolio analytics products. I currently drive product and strategy for Marquee portfolio analytics and baskets at Goldman Sachs, owning roadmap, MVPs and GTM.

I combine deep technical experience in low-latency algorithmic trading platforms and risk systems with product execution — from POC to production — to deliver measurable client value, revenue improvements and better user experiences.

As an engineering lead I have delivered significant performance gains (latency improvements to <1ms at the 99th percentile), designed scalable order gateways and led small cross-functional teams to implement high-impact features. I have also owned business planning, KPIs, A/B testing and stakeholder communications.

I have been recognized for technical innovation and ownership, with awards for technology excellence and risk projects, and I seek roles where I can continue to bridge engineering and product to ship robust, client-focused trading and analytics solutions.
