Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Terp is a software engineer with a decade of experience building low-latency, production-grade systems at IMC Trading, where he progressed from intern to senior engineer. Based in Chicago and trained in Computing and Software Systems at the University of Melbourne, he specializes in backend services and data integration—skills honed during a formative internship writing Java services to aggregate exchange data. Comfortable in high-pressure trading environments, he pairs pragmatic engineering with strong teamwork and mentorship instincts (he’s taught kids to code and led intern projects). Colleagues would describe him as a “human bit shifter”: detail-oriented, performance-focused, and curious about connecting disparate systems reliably.
