Summary
Alfons Haffmans is a Fixed Income Senior Analytics Developer and Architect with 17 years designing and building front-office valuation and trading systems for major banks, currently leading securitized-products analytics at Morgan Stanley. He combines deep quantitative instincts from a Ph.D. in Physics with polyglot engineering expertise (C++, C#, Java, Python, Lisp, Erlang, Haskell) to deliver pricing, risk and P&L platforms used by traders and desk strategists. His background includes architecting electronic mortgage trading and insurance-derivatives systems at Goldman Sachs and KBC, and building robust middle-tier and messaging solutions with Sybase and TIBCO. Comfortable across low-latency C++ engines to higher-level tooling and integrations, he’s known for turning complex financial models into production-grade, auditable systems. Based in Huntington, NY, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor and pragmatic engineering that surfaces in both trading infrastructure and valuation tooling.
