Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Coxe is a seasoned C/C++ software engineer with 12 years of industry experience building real-time, high-throughput, low-latency systems for market surveillance and exchange connectivity. He spent over a decade at SMARTS/NASDAQ OMX developing multi-threaded data feed connectors and converters across Linux/UNIX/Windows/Solaris environments, working end-to-end from requirements and design to production support. Comfortable across gcc/g++, Visual Studio, Boost and modern C++ idioms, he focuses on robust, performance-critical engineering for equities, options, futures and market news feeds. Outside of trading systems he contributes to open-source C++ projects (notably BWAPI for StarCraft) fixing stability and compiler issues, reflecting a pragmatic attention to low-level detail. Currently focused on personal projects and AI/AGI research interests, he’s open to contact from fellow enthusiasts and occasional future opportunities. A background in computer science from the University of Bath underpins his strong foundation in algorithms and systems-level thinking.
