Beacon Platform Leadership

At Goldman, I wrote and maintained the core SecDb framework which was used by the entire investment bank for pricing and risk managing derivatives.

At JP Morgan, my team and I built and designed the new generation risk and trading system for FX & Commodities. We successfully replaced existing third party systems.

At Bank of America, my team and I built Quartz which now runs a large part of the entire derivatives business.

At Beacon we build a cloud native quant and analytics platform used by asset managers, banks, insurance companies and hedge funds.

My interests are in writing software for sophisticated users. I've designed and built distributed computing frameworks, databases, compilers, risk and trading systems and cloud infrastructure. I'm a fan of flat agile organizations and working with people smarter than me.

Specialties: Distributed OO Databases, Dependency Graphs, Language Design, Cloud Computing, Frameworks for quantitative finance.

Experienced quantitative developer and manager with experience across many asset classes and business functions.
