About

I’m Alejandro Guerra, an OTC Sales Trader & Quantitative Trader with a strong understating of algorithmic trading and market microstructure. As an OTC Sales Trader, I specialize in pricing and executing trades across CEX & DEX, utilizing algorithmic execution to secure the best liquidity for clients. My approach ensures minimal market impact, efficient trade settlement, and optimal risk management, all while delivering a seamless trading experience. On the Quantitative Trading side, I run market-making and execution strategies, fine-tuning algorithms for order placement, spread management, and portfolio rebalancing. I analyze market dynamics, volatility, and order flow to identify arbitrage opportunities, hedge risk, and optimize PnL. My background in cloud architecture and DevOps gives me a unique edge—I not only understand trading strategies but also the technical infrastructure where algorithms run, with expertise in Python, AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. With a good foundation in CeFi, DeFi, and TradFi, I bring a data-driven, tech-powered approach to financial markets, continuously refining strategies to stay ahead in a fast-evolving trading landscape. I remain calm and focused under pressure, making strategic decisions that optimize profit and market impact. Honest and team-oriented, I excel in collaborative environments.
