I build production software for financial and data-intensive systems. My core expertise centers on three domains:

✅ Financial Markets

My financial-market work includes building equities and crypto trading execution engines, quantitative execution algorithms, real-time market data pipelines, options pricing and hedging engines, spread construction services, and macroeconomic anomaly ingestion pipelines.

✅ Financial Infrastructure

My financial-infrastructure work includes building cross-border payment rails, double-entry database ledgers, transaction settlement services, automated reconciliation workers, deterministic attribution engines, customer identity resolution systems, and audit-ready security pipelines.

✅ Data Modeling

My data-modeling work includes designing authoritative domain schemas, state management systems, transactional invariants, Uber H3 geospatial proximity indexes, high-throughput streaming pipelines, Medallion data architectures, and event-driven microservices.

I am brought in by CTOs and engineering leaders to owner-architect discrete, high-stakes core subsystems from the ground up—turning complex business rules into audit-ready production systems while force-multiplying internal engineering teams.

Systems Delivery Flow:

Value Flows  →  Data Models  →  Algorithms  →  Services  →  Invariants  →  Security  →  Integrations  →  Interfaces

I derive the algorithms and models first, then codify them into the service layer and connect the complete system end to end: APIs, external integrations, asynchronous processing, security controls, and deliver operational interfaces (React/mobile dashboards) when required, and upskill client teams on domain modeling, AI/LLM adversarial stress-testing, and rapid edge case iterations.

I deliver compliance-first engineering systems that satisfy regulatory frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and PIPEDA. I also navigate enterprise compliance requirements—so you don't have to.

PRADAS INT — HEDGE FUND
Copenhagen, Denmark

Financial Analyst · Quantitative & Financial Systems 

July 2016 – September 2018

At Pradas International (a Copenhagen-based hedge fund), I worked as a Financial Analyst sitting at the intersection of the quant research and engineering teams.

I combined quantitative analysis, financial modeling, and technical data tooling to build analytical models and reporting workflows covering macroeconomic analysis, ATR, regression analysis, options, spreads, hedging, pricing, and capital deployment.

I used Python to organize, transform, and prepare market data for downstream proprietary trading systems, translating analytical requirements into practical models and decision-support tools.
