Senior🎓
Top SchoolAriel Silahian is a Chief Technology & Product Officer and builder of institutional-grade trading platforms with 20+ years operating the microsecond-to-execution pipeline across buy-side and sell-side Tier-1 firms. He combines hands-on C++/.NET low-latency engineering with product strategy to turn market-microstructure insights into measurable P&L advantages, prioritizing execution quality, architectural resilience, and zero-failover operations. Founder of VisualHFT and author of "C++ High Performance for Financial Systems," he also advises firms through HFT Advisory, translating complex quant research into production-ready, regulated systems. Ariel has repeatedly modernized legacy stacks into cloud-hybrid, high-throughput architectures and engineered OMS/RMS integrations that materially improve execution and risk workflows. Based in New York, he publishes technical deep-dives on order-book reconstruction and adverse selection, demonstrating a rare blend of practitioner-level benchmarking and strategic governance. One less obvious strength: he frames engineering choices in explicit business terms, preventing “decision debt” before it compounds into operational and regulatory risk.
