Experience

Lead quant developer
OTS Trading DMCC
2024 - 2025
First engineer in fund’s history. Team leader of development area, and collaborator to research department. Also 2nd-in-command in account management and strategy control, for the company’s portfolio (4.5M USD AUM, 36% CAGR). Creation and ownership of the vast majority of the trading infrastructure in production. Including: Datastreams (multi-venue / exchange connectors, feed handlers, databases, etc), Execution modules (order routing, OMS, RMS), Strategy framework (event-driven), Monitoring subsystems, and User interfaces. Wire-to-wire latency (P95) in the order of 0.2-milliseconds. Execution systems audited and approved by BDO’s APT global standard, from which depended +150 accounts. Deployed more than 30 MFT strategies into production. Including: detrended mean reversions (e.g.: CMMA pairs, oscillator coupling), DSP (e.g.: ZLEMAs, Kalman, Ehlers filters), price-action pattern recognition (e.g: breakout, accumulation), order flow imbalances (from prop firm feeds). Some models used alternative data sources (web-scraping, web sourcecode inspection, message parsing). Created & coordinated an agile know-how process to achieve consistency across 3 stages of strategy conciliation: (1) vectorized, (2) event-driven backtesting and (3) real-time. Later redesigned the aforementioned trading engine into a low-latency trading ecosystem for HFT.
Quant developer
Profluent Trading INC
2022 - 2023
Designed and deployed several HFT-monitoring systems into production, including but not limited to: Live profiling of wire-to-wire latency and slippage (exchange tick emission → … → order ack message). Analysis of crypto-based strategy portfolios in terms of PNL, fees & rebates, delta/exposure and volatility (beta). In-depth reporting and alerting services on diverse team platforms (WhatsApp/Twilio, Telegram, Slack, Click-Up). Calculation of greeks and implied volatility for options in Deribit exchange. Completely redeveloped all private datafeeds (balance, positions, margin, PNL, order responses), previously based on cron-like API requests. Replaced them for WebSocket connectors on 7 crypto exchanges. Built unified authentication and credential storage with secure encryption (Vault), improving isolation and security of multi-venue account operations. Conducted large-scale data analysis on trading and execution datasets, including latency/slippage correlation, execution inefficiencies, order rejection impact, and anomaly detection in price feeds.
Quant developer
Vitrex SA
2019 - 2022
Created a Python framework for coding event-driven (tick) trading strategies, including a ZMQ-based set of multi-account connectors linking Python with MetaTrader. Later extended to IBKR TWS and IQ Option. Created an external controller of MetaTrader 4's ``Strategy Tester``, via bash subprocesses and multi-processing pools. Backtesting of 3rd party alt-signal sources (Telegram, Discord) with real tick data from various CFD brokers. Conducted quant analysis and execution for options trading, consisting of put-shorting & rollover strategies. 140+ trades, 32% net return, Sharpe 1.6 over a 5-month period.
Embedded Engineer intern
