Summary
Cassio Neri is a Quantitative Research Library Architect and PhD in Applied Mathematics with over 15 years’ experience building pricing and risk models for FX and equity derivatives across sell- and buy-side firms in London. He combines deep theoretical pedigree—having derived a namesake equation under the supervision of Pierre-Louis Lions—with hands-on production engineering, contributing calendar algorithms to the Linux kernel, GCC and Firefox. His background spans front-office quant roles, data-science market-making work, and a decade lecturing mathematics at UFRJ, giving him a rare mix of academic rigor and pragmatic model implementation. A former member of the BSI C++ Panel and the ISO C++ Working Group, he brings strong C++ standards and library design expertise to complex quant systems. Notably, his calendar work has been ported across modern runtimes (.NET, Rust, Go, Zig), reflecting impact beyond finance into core infrastructure.
