Software developer for trading infrastructure and analysis

River Forest, Illinois, United States

About

My professional background is software development with a focus on distributed, fault tolerant systems. For the last several years, I worked in the trading industry. I acquired a deep understanding of trading strategies and quantitative methods. I'm also passionate about writing fiction. I published fifteen novels and intend to publish many more. If I'm lucky, writing will become my career after I'm done with trading.
