Available to hire
I am a highly motivated and versatile software professional with a physics background from Imperial College. I specialize in building high-throughput, low-latency systems for front-office trading, risk, and exchange connectivity, with extensive experience across top-tier banks and fintechs. My strengths include Java, C++, .NET, Python, and cloud-based architectures, delivered in agile teams to drive performance and reliability.
Over the years I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams and architected end-to-end trading platforms in AWS, using Kafka, Kinesis, React/Angular frontends, and microservices. I am passionate about solving complex technical problems in equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities, and I enjoy collaborating with traders and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, robust solutions.
