About

As a Technology Team Lead at Susquehanna International Group (SIG), I oversee the development and implementation of innovative and robust and fast trading systems and algorithms that support the firm's futures markets activity. I have over 20 years of experience in the systematic trading industry in a variety of roles: project managment, business development, general manager, team lead and individual contributor. Previously, I was the Head of Engineering at a stealth mode startup creating a low latency digital asset trading solution. I also served as the Head of Proprietary Trading and General Manager at Hanson, one of the world's largest events market makers, providing the bulk of the liquidity to the Smarkets betting exchange and the companys revenue. I am passionate about applying technology and data to create value and optimize performance in the systematic trading domain.
