I build real-time, event-driven systems where correctness matters more than speed. My work spans trading infrastructure, AI validation pipelines, and shipped products used in production environments.

This is how I approach engineering problems under real constraints.

Design a Real-Time Trading System

How would you build a system that processes streaming market data and executes decisions under strict risk constraints?

constraints

  • Continuous high-frequency input streams
  • Decisions must use consistent state
  • Failures can have real financial consequences
  • Execution latency matters, but correctness matters more

approach

  • Use an event-driven architecture with asynchronous pipelines
  • Separate ingestion, signal evaluation, and execution into clear stages
  • Enforce deterministic state transitions before any trade is placed
  • Add monitoring, cooldown safeguards, and persistent logging for traceability

tradeoffs

  • Lower latency is valuable, but not if it breaks consistency
  • More safeguards reduce failure risk but can slightly slow execution
  • State clarity is more important than clever concurrency

Built a real-time microstructure trading engine processing L1/L2 and time-and-sales data across ~15 exchanges with $1M+ live trading volume.
