What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build quantitative trading, market-data, and low-latency financial systems where I can combine statistical modeling, FX domain knowledge, and client-focused product engineering.

At ION Group, I built low-latency FX connectivity and unified APIs for real-time market data, trading, and drop copy across 40+ global banks and trading venues.

I re-engineered connectivity infrastructure across seven flagship ION FX products and developed SBE-based gateways supporting ITCH, OUCH, and FIX protocols for high-frequency market data.

Earlier, I implemented institutional pricing models for 10+ banks and reduced production issue resolution time by 75% with JumpStart, an NLP-based semantic search engine for incident retrieval and triage.

Now at BlackRock, I support Aladdin clients across asset classes and build quantitative signals, including a bond-rating downgrade model using OAS time-series features. I also develop LLM-driven trading-rule validation and Bayesian FX decision systems.
