What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can lead development of algorithmic trading products, improve low-latency execution and surveillance, mentor teams, and drive compliant, scalable trading operations.

I am a seasoned financial markets professional with 20+ years of experience in algorithmic and systematic trading across cash equities, futures, options and structured derivatives. I have led design, development, testing, and deployment of trading strategies and electronic execution frameworks for agency business and exchanges.

My expertise includes high-frequency and low-latency trading infrastructure, trade surveillance, operations and risk management, and building Python-based backtesting engines. I have successfully managed cross-functional teams and collaborated with front-office, mid-office, IT, operations and risk units to deliver operational excellence and regulatory compliance.

I have driven product management and onboarding initiatives, implemented automated monitoring and risk controls, and led incident management during outages. I bring a pragmatic, results-focused approach to developing execution algorithms, enhancing execution quality, and scaling algorithmic trading products.
