Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarl Hewett is a quantitative developer with 11 years of experience building ultra-low-latency trading systems in modern C++ (up to C++23) and a track record across HFT, multi-asset execution, and market-data infrastructure. He designs lock-free, multi-threaded architectures and custom testing frameworks that have materially improved reliability and test coverage in production trading environments. Carl bridges research and production by translating alpha signals into robust, deployable strategies while owning order management, risk controls, and execution optimization. His background includes internships and roles at Morgan Stanley, Autodesk, and Squarepoint, where he led cross-team API and compatibility efforts and presented performance improvements to senior leadership. Based in Montreal, he combines hands-on systems engineering with teaching experience in embedded systems, reflecting a practical knack for explaining complex technical trade-offs. An often-overlooked strength is his habit of shipping bespoke tooling (DSLs and mocks) to reduce operational risk and accelerate delivery.
