What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, high-performance trading or financial technology systems, with opportunities to work on low-latency infrastructure, market microstructure, cybersecurity, and end-to-end software delivery.

I built and deployed a C++ high-frequency arbitrage bot on the Polymarket V2 CLOB API, generating $14,200 P&L with a 68% win rate. I engineered sub-millisecond execution pipelines, lock-free hot paths, native signing, and FOK dual-leg execution while reaching internal tick-to-trade latency below 50 µs.

Alongside quantitative development, I build secure full-stack and systems applications, including a Cybersecurity Incident Management System using Node.js, React, Express, and PostgreSQL. As a freelance developer and consultant, I manage projects from client requirements through end-to-end delivery for international clients.
