I graduated from Columbia University in 2014 with a BS in Computer Engineering, and received my MS in Computer Science from Columbia in 2015, focusing on computer security. I am primarily interested in software development and security, focusing on the high-performance Java field. My educational experience includes software development using Java, C, C++, Python, and Perl, along with their respective web development frameworks such as Django and Java Play. Additional experience includes: mobile app development using Cordova; MongoDB; application hosting on Amazon EC2; creation of the MIDI-based programming language SouL; an embedded system that allows for virtual piano playing based on finger movements.My professional experience started with a one year stint in the Rates eTrading space, mainly contributing to price distribution and RFQ processing. My time in Rates was followed by four years as a senior developer on the FX eTrading Algo team, where my role typically includes daily experience with high-throughput, low-latency Java practices for a distributed application, including both multi-threaded and Disruptor-pattern threading models. Since the second half of 2020 I've been leading a greenfield price distribution project in the FX eCommerce space, again focusing on high performance Java.
