Software developer for financial markets and data processing solutions
I have a mixed academic background in finance and programming, graduated in 2000, and enhanced throughout the years with various courses, certifications and continuous self-study.
On the more practical side, I have more than 20 years experience as software developer, starting with some Microsoft Office macros programming for self use, continued with my corporate employment career as application developer, mostly in large companies such as IBM, and completed with some personal, self-owned projects.
Since 2012, I have also been doing stocks and Forex trading, mostly on the MetaTrader platform, and I currently own multiple trading accounts, generally managed by automated trading systems I have developed on my own.
