I have been working in crypto for several years, mainly focused on building trading systems and market data pipelines. My background is in Python development, backend engineering and quantitative tooling. I have built bots that collect large scale OHLCV and order book data, run cross-exchange pricing logic, manage orders on CEXs and send real time execution updates through Telegram. I work heavily with CCXT, WebSockets, PostgreSQL and exchange APIs.

I enjoy working on systems that need to be stable, fast and able to handle real market volatility. High stakes situations bring out my best work. I stay calm, I communicate clearly and I can make good decisions under pressure. When markets are moving fast, I focus on facts, risk and execution.

I am open to roles in trading, market making, backend engineering, data engineering, DeFi engineering or anything that involves building reliable tools for crypto markets. I work well in small, technical teams and I like solving difficult problems that have a real impact.

Originally conceived as a mentor-led concept, the project was realized through my end-to-end software design, architecture, and deployment planning.
