Trading Systems Architect | Multi-Broker Execution Engines | IBKR & FIX
High-Availability Trading Infrastructure: Built for Resilience and Market Alpha.
I bridge the gap between complex quantitative strategies and institutional execution. As a Senior Trading Systems Architect, I understand that a microsecond of latency, a mismanaged "Gap Fill," or a failed "Kill-Switch" has a direct dollar-value impact. I don't just write code; I engineer deterministic systems that respect the nuances of market microstructure and risk parameters.
I provide a "Triple-Threat" technical stack—C++, C#, and Python—to manage the entire execution lifecycle, from low-latency connectivity to real-time risk monitoring.
Domain Expertise & Market IQ
Execution Dynamics: Deep experience with advanced Order Types (Icebergs, Pegged, Hidden), Time-in-Force logic, and managing complex multi-leg fills.
Market Microstructure: Implementation of venue-specific logic, from the FIFO matching of CME Futures to maker-taker models on Equity ECNs and Crypto Liquidity Aggregators.
Risk & Compliance: Architecture of pre-trade risk gates (Fat-Finger protection, Max Position limits) and real-time P&L attribution.
Operational Resilience: Specialized in the "Slow Path" of trading—handling sequence resets, API backpressure, and state persistence to ensure recovery without manual intervention.
Technical Focus & Stack
Low-Latency C++ Execution: Expert in zero-copy FIX Engines (4.2/4.3/4.4) and execution bridges. I focus on the "Hot Path"—optimizing memory layouts, lock-free concurrency, and CPU core pinning to minimize jitter.
Enterprise C# .NET Systems: Building the "Control Center." I develop robust Order Management Systems (OMS) and high-performance WPF trading terminals featuring real-time data streaming and asynchronous risk monitoring.
Quantitative Python Automation: End-to-end automation for Equities, Options, Future, FX & Crypto. Deep integration with IBKR (TWS/Gateway),CBOE Silexx, TradeStation, Tradier, and TastyTrade, focusing on execution logging and signal integrity.
The Engineering Value I Bring
Architectural Pragmatism: I select the tool based on the requirement. C++ for performance-critical execution, C# for reliable middleware/UIs, and Python for rapid research and research-to-live deployment.
Modular Asset Architecture: I build "Plug-and-Play" execution layers. My designs allow you to pivot between asset classes (Futures, Stocks, FX) without rewriting your core connectivity logic.
Broker Certification (UAT): I lead the technical conformance process with Tier-1 brokers and vendors (UBS, TT, Iress), managing the rigorous testing cycles required for production launch.
I deliver production-ready code that is fast, auditable, and built to survive volatile market conditions.
Let’s discuss your requirements. I am available for both targeted consulting and end-to-end system development.
Work Terms
Availability Monday - Friday
I am available to align with your working hours for live deployment, testing, and troubleshooting sessions as required.
For emergency or live production systems, I offer "on-call" emergency support outside of standard hours by prior arrangement.
