About

Software Developer with experience building and optimizing low-latency trading systems at ION Group. I work on high-frequency FX platforms, focusing on real-time market data processing, multi-threaded system design, and performance optimization. In my current role, I develop and maintain components that handle high-throughput market updates in FIX protocol, debug complex production issues involving concurrency and latency, and build tools to analyze and improve system performance. I have developed and maintained high-performance services like pricing gateways, order router & pricing engines using multithreading, thread-safe design, smart-pointer based memory management, and lock-free programming techniques. I have a strong foundation in C++ and Java, with experience in backend development, distributed systems, and Linux-based infrastructure. I am particularly interested in low-latency engineering, market microstructure, and building scalable, high-performance systems. Currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute to high-impact financial systems and continue growing as a low-latency and systems-focused engineer.
