Technical Lead

I'm an accomplished Lead Engineer with over 18 years of experience leading complex software and data engineering initiatives in financial services. My career is defined by combining deep financial domain knowledge with advanced technical leadership to deliver secure, scalable data platforms and comprehensive solutions.

At Future Fund, I recently served as Technical Lead, where I architected a cutting-edge cloud-native data platform on AWS (Dagster, DBT, Databricks) crucial for advanced data engineering, analytics, and AI initiatives, including LLM training. A core part of my role involved developing sophisticated quantitative investment models (e.g., Dynamic Reference Portfolio). My expertise extends to full-stack development (Python, JavaScript, React for both front-end and back-end) and robust DevOps (Terraform, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, ELK observability). I bring strong competencies in data security (CISSP) and enterprise architecture (TOGAF), guiding strategic shifts to event-driven and microservices. I hold AWS, CISSP, and TOGAF certifications.

What I'm Looking For:

I'm seeking Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Engineering Manager roles in organizations pushing the boundaries of Web3, DeFi, and AI/ML. My ideal opportunity involves:

  • Designing scalable, secure cloud-native data architectures relevant to on-chain and off-chain data.
  • Leading quantitative model development for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications or trading strategies.
  • Driving high-impact AI/ML initiatives, potentially involving LLMs for market analysis or risk management.
  • Applying my extensive experience in full-stack development, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and MLOps in a dynamic, Web3 environment.
I am passionate about building robust, efficient, and innovative systems that transform data into strategic assets, and I'm eager to contribute my leadership and technical prowess to a challenging new environment.
