Summary
Blake Huber is a hybrid engineer-trader who pairs an early career in Silicon Valley application development and two decades of high-level AWS and cloud platform leadership with 20 years of hands-on futures and options trading within a Global Macro framework. He built and led large cloud engineering teams for Fortune 500 clients, architected production-grade AWS/Azure platforms and trading support systems, and served on AWS advisory councils and independent EC2 Spot analytics projects. Holding dual graduate degrees from Wharton in Finance and Telecommunications Engineering and a BSME from UT Austin, he uniquely blends quantitative finance instincts with deep Linux, Python, and systems automation experience. Now based in Plano, Texas, he runs independent derivatives trading focused on equity index futures, FX and commodities while leveraging his cloud engineering pedigree to design low-latency support systems. Notably, his transition from VP-level cloud roles to full-time trading reflects a deliberate synthesis of infrastructure expertise and market strategy rather than a career pivot.
