I have pursued my dream of becoming both a Quantitative Developer and a Full Stack Developer, a lifelong ambition that continues to drive my passion for technology and finance. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of working with top companies, enhancing my expertise through collaboration with diverse clients, and creating impactful solutions that serve both business and customer needs. My journey has allowed me to blend my skills in building low-latency, algorithmic trading systems with my background in software development, making me adept at handling complex challenges across different domains.
I am naturally persevered, self-confident, quietly curios, innovative and constantly challenging my skills.
In the world of quantitative development, my focus is on low-latency applications and high-frequency trading (HFT). I excel at building ultra-fast trading systems designed for optimal speed and precision. My expertise in C++ pricing libraries allows me to develop advanced pricing models for derivatives, forex, and fixed income instruments, capable of executing complex calculations in real time. I am well-versed in quantitative finance techniques, including Monte Carlo simulations, finite difference methods, stochastic processes, and PDE solvers.
My experience extends to multi-threading, parallel processing, kernel bypass, and real-time data processing, all of which are crucial for high-throughput systems in HFT. I also have a strong command of the FIX protocol, allowing me to facilitate seamless communication between trading systems and various exchanges. I design systems that handle real-time market data processing and order execution with unparalleled efficiency, ensuring timely and accurate trade decisions.
Furthermore, I have extensive experience with Order Management Systems (OMS), REST APIs, WebSockets, FPGA, and market connectivity solutions like Summit and MarkitWire. I am adept at integrating and normalizing market data from multiple exchanges, enabling informed decision-making and execution of complex trading strategies.
I am a highly skilled developer with extensive experience in building web applications, microservices, and low-latency trading systems. My expertise spans a broad range of technologies, including Node.js, Spring Boot, Java, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Express, Sequelize, Knex, Hibernate, and cloud platforms like GCP and AWS. I excel at designing scalable, highly available applications with cloud-native architectures, leveraging my proficiency in cloud infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, fault tolerance, and security.
On the back end, I am adept at database management, with deep experience in PostgreSQL and Oracle. I design efficient schemas, optimize queries, and utilize ORM libraries like Sequelize and Knex to streamline data operations, ensuring smooth application-to-database interaction. My technical acumen also extends to front-end development, where I specialize in building responsive, intuitive user interfaces using ReactJS, Redux, Angular, HTML, and CSS. I deliver dynamic Single Page Applications (SPAs) with seamless user experiences and optimized performance across different devices.
Beyond trading systems, I am also a full-stack developer with a deep understanding of high-level and low-level system design. I architect scalable microservice architectures for web applications, utilizing cloud infrastructure for distributed computing. My ability to design systems that are modular, efficient, and scalable ensures that businesses can grow without compromising on performance.
