01 —— about
what I build
I engineer trading systems where the edge is measured in microseconds and sampled against markets that change faster than the code reviewing them.
Adjacent interests: quant engineering, evolutionary search, agent-based simulation, cellular life. This site is my log — small systems, written down.
- // work building execution systems for a prop firm
- // tooling C++, Rust, Python; kdb+/q; SBE, FIX
