What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocation and remote work, and I'm looking to build reliable backend, trading, and infrastructure systems with measurable production impact.

At QubitGlobal, I build quantitative trading infrastructure: a Python grid market maker live across 30+ pairs and 10+ venues, multi-venue exchange gateways, and a Go Kubernetes control plane running 50+ live bots.

I've improved exchange onboarding from three days to one, reduced bot rollout to five minutes, and built exactly-once position accounting that remains drift-free across 100+ restarts. Previously at TokenPilot, I integrated trading workflows across 10+ centralized exchanges handling 100,000 orders per day; I also build backend systems in Python, TypeScript, Go, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes.
