• At D. E. Shaw, I lead engineering initiatives at the intersection of finance and advanced technology, building scalable systems that empower traders, quants, and compliance teams across global markets. My work spans applied AI, real-time platforms, and large-scale API infrastructure.
• AI & Trading Workflow Automation: Designed and deployed an LLM-based parser that extracts and evaluates broker-sent chats. Leveraged LangGraph and ensemble LLM techniques to substantially increase parsing accuracy while enabling real-time validation, directly improving trading decision-making and compliance monitoring.
• Trader Productivity Platforms: Built a real-time task management application using React and Kafka, providing traders with a unified platform to manage order submissions, compliance approvals, and cross-desk workflows. This tool centralized fragmented processes and reduced decision turnaround times significantly.
• API & Systems Leadership: Lead a 6-member engineering group responsible for delivering high-performance REST and GraphQL APIs that handle critical requests daily from quant research teams, trading desks, and external partners. Focused on low-latency, high-availability systems that support mission-critical operations.
• Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement: Head projects from inception through delivery by guiding engineers with design thinking principles, enforcing engineering best practices, and engaging with traders, quants, and compliance stakeholders to translate complex requirements into production-ready solutions.
• Impact: Consistently drive initiatives that blend cutting-edge AI with financial systems, enabling faster, more accurate trading workflows while mentoring engineering talent and scaling critical infrastructure.
