About

I am a technology professional specializing in high performance distributed systems, primarily in fintech. My career spans several decades, including roles ranging from CTO/Founder/Lead Engineer at an HFT firm, to sales engineering and IC engineering roles at startups. I have also delivered professional services (management consulting, due diligence, software engineering, data science) throughout my career.

The High Frequency Trading firm I founded had a roughly 15 year run, operating in US and EU equity markets. After winding down the firm, I entered the crypto markets as advisor to political leaders, large family offices, and first-mover firms. My early career was spent at NeXT Computer, Inc. and its ecosystem companies.

Today, I am active in the machine learning community, finding pragmatic applications for, and providing thought leadership on recent advances in the field.
