Developing high-performance systematic trading systems for a leading market maker.* Principal architect and technical lead for a new market access controls library. Developed optimized C++ template code and deployed it globally across Citadel’s systematic trading desks to effectively manage risk. * Designed a fault-tolerant service to stream real-time trading data into Kafka. This service collects data from over 3,000 sensitive trading systems worldwide and processes several billion messages every day.* Designed a single-writer, multi-reader lockless shared memory queue with support for gaps and out-of-order writes. Currently integrating this code into a proprietary reliable multicast implementation.* Directly managing a full-time engineer and coordinating tasks for a few other junior engineers on the team.* Other responsibilities include managing data transformations for regulatory reporting to FINRA, overseeing improvements to our Intermarket Sweep Orders (ISO) stack, and maintaining our equities trading platform.

Worked at a fast-paced startup designing floor cleaning robots for the hospitality industry.* Developed a novel SLAM algorithm using Adaptive Monte-Carlo Localization (AMCL) as a starting point. Implemented the algorithm in C++ and tuned it for use on a resource-constrained embedded computer.* Developed state machines for navigation, a spatial data tracking system, and several other software components within the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. Deployed this in Docker to our robot.* Prototyped, tested, and worked on board bring-up for various electronics onboard the robot. Developed drivers for LiDAR, I2C and a custom display. Wrote firmware in C for multiple ARM and AVR microcontrollers.* Developed a simulation model in Gazebo and used it to improve software testing infrastructure.
