Intro
I am a Systems Engineer with a Master’s in Finance and over 25 years of experience delivering technology solutions for the capital markets, trading, banking, insurance, and crypto industries.
My work spans several key areas:
Trading & Capital Markets: Specialized in algorithmic and low-latency trading systems, with hands-on experience integrating with brokers, exchanges, and industry-standard protocols (including FIX). I design and optimize solutions where performance, reliability, and compliance are critical.
Banking, Insurance & Security: Experienced as a solutions architect, leading the modernization and migration of enterprise applications to cloud-native platforms. I collaborate with cross-functional architecture and security teams to ensure scalability, resilience, and regulatory alignment.
Crypto & Emerging Tech: Worked on crypto-related projects involving trading, integration, and security, applying the same rigor and performance standards as in traditional finance.
I bring a freelance consulting approach, combining technical depth, security awareness, and industry insight. My goal is to partner with organizations that need expertise to design, implement, and scale secure financial technology solutions efficiently.
If you are looking for an experienced professional to collaborate on trading, banking, insurance, or crypto technology initiatives, I’d be glad to connect.
