About Me
With over 30 years working in financial technology and 20 years specifically in electronic trading systems, I have worked doing technical pre-sales for a major vendor, product management for a trading venue, built the first darkpool trading venue using distributed ledger technology, built POCs for a weather data analysis for an alternative energy trading desk, built a transaction reporting platform for MIFID 2 compliance and a transaction cost analysis platform for an asset manager that wanted to analyse trading based on either the portfolio manager’s order flow or the traditional trader’s order flow.
I love building solutions to unique or unusual requirements and thrive in fast-paced highly regulated environments.
