I develop, debug, and convert TradingView Pine Script and MT5/MQL5 tools with clean documentation, testing steps, and human-review checkpoints. I also build AI-assisted workflow automation using n8n, Claude, APIs, and Python, with a focus on logging, maintainability, and risk-aware design. My past work includes indicator debugging, strategy conversion, backtesting support, automation workflows, and EdTech tools backed by 30 years of teaching experience. AI Workflow Automation Your AI employee who never sleeps. I design business workflows using Claude MCP, Cowork, and n8n that automate repetitive tasks. Submit work at night, wake up to results. Quarterly maintenance subscriptions keep your setup current as AI tools evolve. Recent: AI workflow consultation for a beauty salon. Trading Tool Development From 1,850 live trades to your custom algorithm. Pine Script indicators for TradingView (QQE v3.0 with strong community support), MT5/MT4 Expert Advisors with verified backtest results, NinjaScript strategies, and TradeStation EasyLanguage. Cross-platform deployments where the same logic runs consistently on every platform. Educational Technology Claude Code + MCP + 30yr STEM Expert = Your unfair advantage. AI-powered question generators, exam preparation apps (530+ question database for university entrance exams), and STEM curriculum development. I combine deep subject matter expertise with AI to produce educational content that works. I work through text-based asynchronous communication. This produces clearer specifications, better documentation, and a complete record of every decision. Portfolio links: See my GitHub, MQL5, and YouTube profiles in the Portfolio section below.

I build trading systems that survive live execution — not just backtesting. 27 years of C# development. 20+ NinjaTrader 8 indicators and strategies. 10+ MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors. Python ML pipelines with walk-forward validation and ONNX deployment. PhD in Management Information Systems. Every system I deliver comes with full source code, documentation, and a walkthrough so you understand what I built and why. I'm a developer who understands trading, not a trader who learned to code. That difference matters when your strategy needs to handle partial fills, slippage on a fast NQ breakout, or a prop firm's trailing drawdown rules. WHAT I BUILD NinjaTrader 8 (NinjaScript/C#): Custom indicators (regime filters, order flow, harmonic patterns, composite dashboards), automated strategies (breakout, momentum, mean-reversion, institutional zone detection, volatility compression), advanced trade management (multi-target exits, ATR-scaled trailing, break-even, time-based exits, re-entry logic), full parameter exposure for Strategy Analyzer optimization, and data export pipelines for ML model training. MetaTrader 5 (MQL5): Expert Advisors for live and prop firm environments. Box breakout (6 versions), volatility compression straddle, Heiken Ashi exhaustion, multi-strategy EAs. Session filtering, spread guards, prop firm compliance (drawdown limits, daily loss caps, consistency rules, magic number management), and risk-based position sizing. Python ML Pipelines: XGBoost, LSTM, Transformer, and MLP models for session-type prediction, directional forecasting, and signal filtering. Walk-forward validation, SHAP explainability on every prediction, Monte Carlo stress testing (10,000 equity paths), and ONNX export for sub-millisecond inference inside NinjaTrader. Pine Script (TradingView): Multi-timeframe systems with non-repainting architecture, state-based logic, session-aware execution, and liquidity sweep / SFP detection. Cross-Platform: Strategy porting (NT8 ↔ MT5 ↔ ATAS ↔ DAS Trader ↔ Python), cross-platform signal routing across 5 simultaneous platforms, and broker API integration (Interactive Brokers TWS API, Rithmic, MetaTrader broker API). FLAGSHIP BUILD: IMBOne Cortex The most complex system in my portfolio — a quantitative trading intelligence platform I architected and built end-to-end as sole developer. WPF/.NET 9, 7 server projects, 30+ table MySQL database, SignalR real-time streaming, Redis caching layer. Core systems: real-time data engine processing 100K+ market data messages/min via Polygon WebSocket. Dark pool level detection (FINRA data, 4-tier classification). Gamma exposure engine (DIY from raw options chain data — zero vendor dependency). Pre-market scanner screening 8,000+ equities. ML pipeline with XGBoost classifiers (session-type F1=0.736, IB-direction F1=0.727), nightly automated retraining, SHAP explainability rendered in-app, and ONNX Runtime inference. 40+ engineered features. If I can build this solo, I can build what you need. SELECTED RESULTS ▸ Institutional Zone Breakout (NQ) — Sharpe 2.30, 53.9% WR, 668 trades ▸ ICT Liquidity Sweep — Sharpe 4.81, PF 1.93 ▸ Box Breakout EA (v6.5) — directional bias model, 82% AUC ▸ EURCHF ML Pipeline — walk-forward validated, mean Sharpe 4.02, all folds positive ▸ 80% Rule Debunk — 5+ years NQ data, measured 18.3% vs. claimed 80% ▸ Level Touch Probability — distance gravity model, AUC 0.78–0.85 ▸ NQ Breakout Pipeline — MBO-10 microstructure, absorption signal identification HOW I WORK Understand your strategy logic and goals before writing code Build clean, documented, configurable code — every parameter exposed Validate rigorously — walk-forward, Monte Carlo, statistical significance testing Deliver full source code + performance report + walkthrough session All client strategy code treated as confidential. NDA available. Your edge is yours. PROP FIRM EXPERIENCE: Systems designed for Tradeify, TopStepX, and similar environments. Trailing drawdown, daily loss limits, consistency rules. Risk controls enforced independently from strategy logic — the risk layer has absolute veto authority. TECH STACK: C# (27 yrs) · NinjaScript · MQL5 · Python · Pine Script · XGBoost · LSTM · SHAP · ONNX Runtime · SignalR · MySQL · Redis · Databento MBO-10 · Polygon API · Rithmic · IB TWS API · pandas · NumPy · scikit-learn PhD · 27 years C# · 17 years university teaching (I explain what I build — you'll understand your own system) · Bilingual English/Spanish · South Florida (EST) Let's build something that works in live markets, not just in backtesting.

🏛️ 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. Brilliant quantitative logic is worthless if your execution architecture bleeds capital under live-market pressure. I see it constantly: founders deploying systems that print money in backtests, only to watch them collapse in production because their MT5 terminals or TradingView webhooks aren't properly bridged to a high-performance backend. I solve this. As a Quantitative Systems Architect, I build sub-millisecond Python execution vessels that turn fragile, isolated trading scripts into resilient, production-ready infrastructure. With deep experience in financial market infrastructure, I specialize in Project Rescue and Scale-Up Architecture. I act as your hands-on Technical Partner: one single point of contact, strict engineering rigor, and absolute risk control. ━━━ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗 ━━━ Algorithmic Trading & Execution Engines Architecting institutional-grade automated systems natively across MT5 (MQL5) and TradingView (Pine Script v6). Building sub-millisecond Python execution vessels, utilizing WebSockets and ZeroMQ to route signals instantly from your Master API to the broker. Trade lifecycle management: precise order chunking, slippage caps, and dynamic trailing logic. Fintech SaaS & Prop Firm Infrastructure Designing high-concurrency B2B dashboards and server-side risk management microservices (Next.js, FastAPI, MetaApi). Enforcing strict Prop Firm drawdowns, daily loss locks, and automated equity syncing to protect capital from emotional trading. Bridging traditional frontend terminals (MT5/TV) with robust Python backends. Broker API & Data Pipelines Direct integration with Rithmic (R-API+), Binance, Bybit, and FIX protocols. Structuring historical MBO, tick-level, and order-book data ingestion pipelines (e.g., Databento) for accurate backtesting and ML-feature extraction. ━━━ 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 & 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗘 ━━━ I Understand Both Software Engineering and Quantitative Finance I speak your language. I don't just understand basic SL/TP; I understand Level 3 Order Books, Liquidity Voids, Lock-free Ring Buffers, and Structural Risk Validation. I don’t approximate your logic; I implement your mathematical models exactly as defined. Exact Logic, No Guesswork I build systems from the ground up with strict determinism. Every rule is coded, logged, and tested. If a condition is ambiguous, I clarify it before execution to ensure the system behaves 100% as expected under live-market stress. Zero Hand-Holding Required As your Fractional CTO, I don't just write code blindly. I audit your architecture, tell you exactly what is causing latency or system failures, and execute the fix. ━━━ 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗞 & 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗦 ━━━ Languages: Python, C++, MQL5, Pine Script, TypeScript. Trading Platforms: MetaTrader 5 (MT5), TradingView. APIs & Data: Rithmic (R-API+), MetaApi, Databento, REST/WebSockets, FIX Protocol. Backend & SaaS: FastAPI, Next.js, ZeroMQ, Docker, Microservices Architecture. 🚀 Let's build something that scales. Send me your trading strategy, MT5 setup, or SaaS architecture plan. I will tell you exactly where the bottlenecks are and outline a strategic roadmap to fix them. ━━━ Keywords: Fractional CTO | Quantitative Finance Architect | Enterprise SaaS Architecture | Algorithmic Trading Systems | MT4 | MT5 | MQL5 | NinjaTrader 8 | NT8 | C# | TradingView | Pine Script | Prop Firm Tech Stack | Binance API | CCXT | Crypto Exchange Integration | Blockchain Developer | Web3 Infrastructure | DeFi Protocol | Payment Gateway Integration | Node.js | Next.js | Python | High-Concurrency Backend | Microservices | MetaApi | PCI-DSS | Project Rescue | High-Agency Developer

I build reliable, high‑performance NinjaTrader 8 strategies and indicators that actually work in real‑time - not just in backtests. 10+ years in NT8 automation, modular architecture, and performance optimization. Most traders come to me with one of these problems: Their strategy behaves differently in real‑time vs backtest Indicators repaint or lag Execution is slow or unstable They need a custom strategy but don’t know how to structure it They tried other developers and got messy, unmaintainable code If this sounds familiar - I can help. What I deliver Custom NT8 strategies (scalping, swing, orderflow, multi‑timeframe) Indicator development & conversion (NT7 → NT8, TradingView → NT8) Strategy optimization (speed, stability, memory, CPU) Debugging & fixing complex issues Modular architecture for long‑term maintainability Clean, well‑documented C# code Why clients choose me Senior‑level C# + deep knowledge of NT8 internals Predictable delivery and clear communication Modular, extensible code (easy to update later) Real trading logic understanding Fast turnaround for urgent fixes Typical results 20–60% faster execution after optimization 90%+ reduction in random strategy errors Stable real‑time performance after fixing sync issues Clean, maintainable codebase instead of spaghetti Let’s build something that actually works - not just compiles. Send me your idea, screenshot, or even a rough description - I’ll tell you the best way to implement it.
