About

I build software that powers modern financial markets. For 15 years I have worked on trading systems across equities, fixed income, FX, and ETFs. My focus is designing distributed, real time platforms that support how traders and markets actually operate. Over the past 8 years I have led engineering teams responsible for building and running these systems in production. I am especially interested in where market structure and software architecture meet. As markets evolve, the technology behind them has to evolve as well. Here I share perspectives on Trading systems Financial technology Software architecture Distributed systems Engineering leadership Views are my own and do not represent the views of my employer.
