Low-Latency Alchemist | Ancient Java Warrior | Occasional Writer
- Leading the charge on ultra-low-latency trading systems at a major US Bank's eTrading team
- Pioneering our migration from Java/ION to Rust/Aeron/SBE to achieve single-microsecond tick-to-trade latency
- On a mission to prove that Rust can help us earn lots of $$$ which Java can't in market making trading
Languages: Rust (new love), Java (25+ years), Python
Tech Stack: Aeron, SBE, Low-Latency Systems, High-Performance Computing
Specialties: JVM Performance Tuning, Lock-Free Algorithms, System Architecture
I occasionally write about technical deep dives and exotic subjects:
- My Medium Articles
(Topics on obscure programming paradigms and some trading too)
- Top 10% contributor with 5000+ reputation
- My SO Profile
(Though I'll admit I've gotten a bit lazy recently - those Rust borrow checker questions are calling my name!)
"First make it work, then make it fast - unless you're building low latency trading systems, then you only get one shot at both."
Let's connect if you're into:
- Pushing performance boundaries
- War stories from the JVM trenches
- Rust's fight against Java in low-latency systems
- Or just want to debate monads, monoids and functors
