Summary
Benjamin Savoy is a Lead Software Engineer based in Dubai with 13 years of experience building resilient, production-grade distributed systems for finance and trading. He has repeatedly modernized legacy stacks—migrating Windows C#/.NET systems to Linux containers, designing Kafka-based real-time pipelines in Kotlin, and introducing CI/CD and observability to high-stakes environments. Comfortable leading small engineering teams, he has productionised automated trading strategies and implemented robust security and high-integrity build processes in contexts that demand both performance and auditability. A lifelong programmer since age 12, Benjamin blends hands-on implementation with process improvements—bringing linting, static analysis and integration testing into teams to increase release confidence. Not obvious from titles alone, he’s also driven internal culture and transparency initiatives, mentoring juniors and translating researcher/trader needs into reliable, scalable systems.
