I'm a full-time stock trader and seasoned algorithmic trading developer with a deep background in both discretionary and systematic trading. I began my career trading equities at multiple hedge funds, where I gradually transitioned toward a fully systematic approach—automating, testing, and refining strategies to gain consistent edge in the markets. Over the years, I’ve developed and deployed over 1,000 trading algorithms across all major asset classes (equities, futures, forex, crypto, options) and strategy types (mean reversion, momentum, market-making, arbitrage, stat arb, ML-based models, and more). My clients have ranged from solo retail traders to the heads of multi-billion-dollar hedge funds. Whether you're looking to prototype a strategy, scale an existing model, integrate with brokers and data feeds, or build robust backtesting and execution infrastructure—I can help you bring it to life with both the precision of a developer and the insight of a trader. What I offer: - Strategy development (any asset class, any timeframe) - Backtesting engines and research platforms - High-performance, low-latency execution systems - Broker/API integrations (Interactive Brokers, DAS, FIX, etc.) - Platform-specific development (NinjaTrader, QuantConnect, TradingView, MetaTrader, and custom solutions) - Data processing, visualization, and analytics - Fintech software solutions - Production ready web applications Let’s work together to turn your trading ideas into production-ready systems. In specific cases, I also offer live 1 on 1 consulting for double my standard development hourly rate.
