I build systems.
I have questions.
These are related.

I build trading systems, replay the past, and ask software some uncomfortable questions.

01 /Where the questions go.

A few things from my workbench.

01 — AUTOMATED TRADING

The strategy is
only the start.

I build the machinery around it. Market feeds, strategy runners, broker integrations—and the messy bits between them.

THE QUESTION I KEEP COMING BACK TO

“What happens when the happy path ends?”

Real-time data / execution / observability

02order.authorizedpassed

03broker.acknowledgedreceived

04fill.awaitingpending

An acknowledgement is where the next question starts.

02 — BACKTESTING & REPLAY

Good idea.
Now rewind it.

I build tools to replay strategies against history, inspect the assumptions, and make the results explainable.

03 — SHARED EXECUTION LAYERBUILDING ↗

More strategies.
Fewer loose ends.

A common gateway between strategies and brokers. Explicit permissions, tracked order lifecycles, and a record you can follow.

A human, with a debugger.

I like making complicated things make sense. Currently doing that through trading infrastructure—and sharing the odd lesson along the way.

SIDE CHANNEL ↗

Small lessons. Strange bugs. Questions that escaped the editor.

Got a good “what if”?

Or a weird bug. Those are welcome too.
