Experience
Lead Architect
Quantitative Trading Engine & HFT Bot 2024 - 2026
Throughput: Architected an event-driven system processing 18B+ events for backtesting and live execution; utilized an Actor-based model for ultra-low latency and efficient backpressure management. Optimization: Achieved a 500% performance gain through deep profiling and implementation of zero-copy reading with Parquet for high-speed batch processing and database writes.
Research / Architect
Tryst: Decentralized P2P Protocol 2024 - 2026
Architecture: Pioneered a novel decentralized P2P system for metadata protection by integrating iroh and Automerge. Implemented custom DHT-based discovery and identity unlinkability. Evaluation: Targeting PETS / ACSAC for publication based on large-scale benchmarking across distributed node networks and ongoing development of a formal threat model with security proofs.
Lead Engineer
Uniit: Full-Stack Web Development Platform 2023 - 2024
Synchronization: Engineered a multi-user real-time synchronization engine using the Actor model to handle high-throughput state updates for collaborative visual editing. Architecture: Built a comprehensive platform for visual generation of full-stack systems; leveraged Actix-web, PostgreSQL, and Redis for high-performance backend orchestration.
