Summary
Alexander Serikov is a quantitative developer with nine years of experience building high-performance financial systems across fixed income, macro and multi-asset risk domains. He led a growing team at Millennium delivering firm-scale FICC analytics and real-time services using C++20, gRPC, Kubernetes and Apache Arrow, and now applies that expertise to Citadel’s Fixed Income and Macro fund. Previously he maintained large-scale regulatory risk engines at Bloomberg, translating complex requirements like FRTB into production-grade software, and began his career developing computer-vision and OCR models in C++. Known for blending research collaboration with hands-on system design, he has a track record of scaling teams and services that run 24/7 for hundreds of traders and risk managers. Based in London, he pairs a strong applied-math background with a “software necromancer” mindset—reviving and optimizing legacy systems into modern, reliable platforms.
