Adrian Letchford is a quantitative developer and machine learning engineer with 11+ years of experience building production-grade trading systems and data platforms across startups and high-performance trading firms. He has delivered end-to-end solutions from ELT pipelines and customer-facing ML products to low-latency systematic strategies, most recently engineering systematic natural gas trading at BlueCrest after operating production equities and options systems at Millennium. Comfortable moving between research and execution, Adrian blends probabilistic modelling and convex optimisation with pragmatic engineering—automating deployments, observability, and testing in live trading environments. He’s built data foundations that tripled conversion at a DTC startup and mentored teams to raise engineering standards, reflecting a rare mix of speed, precision, and product impact. Based in London with a PhD in CS and Mathematics, he also writes about quant engineering at OSQuant.com, translating complex market math into practical insights.
