Senior🎓
Top SchoolAb Wilson is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with over two decades of deep C++ experience building low-latency, mission-critical systems for the financial markets. He has delivered front-office pricing engines, matching engines, exchange and clearing connectivity, and algorithmic trading infrastructure across firms from Nomura and Euronext to Bloomberg and Squarepoint Capital. His work spans OTC derivatives, fixed income, options/futures and proprietary trading strategies, with notable expertise in replacing runtime polymorphism with compile-time techniques and micro-benchmarking to shave latency. A strong communicator and mentor, he regularly translates complex business requirements into well-tested, modular C++14/17 code on Linux/RedHawk. Unusually for someone with institutional pedigree, he has hands-on experience multiplexing data over constrained RF links and designing order books for index-level feeds, demonstrating both low-level optimization chops and high-level system design.
