Zar Wali
@zarwali
I build low-latency C++ trading systems and secure cybersecurity applications.
What I'm looking for
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.
