I've spent the last eight years in C++ development, building, low-latency systems for FinTech and real-time distributed setups. Right now I'm Technical Lead at Logiciel Services, where I own the whole Market Data platform services. I'm designing and scaling our high-performance C++ pipelines that pull in and push out live L1/L2, options, and derivatives data, while also heading up the Signal Engine that works on MACD, Stochastic, Parabolic SAR, candlestick patterns, and our proprietary trading signals. We've brought end-to-end latency down to 2 digit milliseconds, added persistent storage for historical candles, real-time WebSocket pub/sub, and true 24/7 Linux uptime. From 2020 to 2023 at Afiniti I built the Arbiter high-availability cluster completely from scratch — a patented fault-tolerant system using multithreaded modern C++ (17/20/23), TLS-encrypted TCP/UDP, rolling upgrades, Docker microservices, and full Prometheus/Grafana telemetry plus REST/WebSocket services. It earned me the patent for the fault-management approach and wiped out every single point of failure. Earlier, at Siemens Digital Industries, I worked on automotive embedded systems, writing ISO-compliant diagnostic bootloaders and full CAN/LIN protocol stacks for multiple ECUs. I love working with low-latency optimizations with FIX, Redis, ZeroMQ, and Hiredis, migrating legacy code to clean microservices, spawning CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker, running performance benchmarks, and mentoring the team on modern C++ and Agile practices. Whether it's saving milliseconds from execution paths or keeping production ready, I'm driven to deliver trading infrastructure that actually scales globally. I'm excited to bring that same hands-on ownership and energy to the next challenge.
