Building Your Next
Application Interface
Founder, Architect, and API Specialist. I bridge the gap between complex financial regulations and scalable code. 5+ years optimising high throughput systems.
Execution Log
Founder & CTO
2023 - 2025Bootstrapped a production-ready React/Python platform to Beta as a solo engineer in under 12 months, effectively saving ~$150k in development overhead. Preserved ~42% of residual capital by executing a disciplined, solvent wind-down immediately upon invalidating the business thesis.
Core Engineer (Python + React)
2022 - 2023Architected a unified 'Translation Layer' to normalize disparate exchange protocols into a single internal schema. Diagnosed critical vendor-side API gaps (missing endpoints/data) and liaised directly with partner engineering teams to implement protocol-level workarounds, ensuring 100% data continuity.
Independent Quant Researcher
2020 - 2024Captured consistent market alpha by designing a proprietary trading strategy and the high-performance infrastructure to run it. Optimized the core screening loop from 24s to <4s via concurrency and vectorisation (AsyncIO + Semaphore + NumPy), enabling the system to give accurate data without wassting precious seconds.
Software Engineer (.NET/Python)
2018 - 2021Mitigated data-loss liability to 0% during a critical legacy-to-cloud transition. Accelerated audit readiness from 7 days to instant availability via automated dashboards, and digitized complex legal workflows to unlock a digitalised Will writing stream previously constrained by manual processing capacity.
System Architecture
High-Frequency Screener
Engineered a non-blocking, event-driven screening engine capable of ingesting and normalizing 550+ financial tickers in <4 seconds. Leveraged NumPy vectorization to bypass Python's GIL limitations for heavy arithmetic operations.
Predictive Alpha R&D
Architected an offline training pipeline to identify non-linear correlations in historical market data. Optimized data loading (ETL) to process 10+ years of OHLCV data in minutes, enabling rapid hyperparameter tuning.
Quant Backtest Engine
Built a vectorized backtesting framework to stress-test investment strategies against historical volatility. Implemented Monte Carlo simulations to validate risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe/Sortino ratios) prior to live deployment.
Legacy Reconciliation API
Designed a multi-tenant, serverless reconciliation engine to validate data integrity during a critical banking system migration. Automated the comparison of millions of transaction rows to ensure audit-compliance.
