Summary
Cory Stewart is a software engineer based in Menlo Park with 12 years of professional experience and a background as a former financial portfolio manager and options market maker. He builds full-stack Python systems—designing GraphQL-backed databases, Jinja2/Bootstrap front-ends, and automated QA tooling—at an early-stage startup focused on UAV safety and privacy. His prior career managing a $300M notional options book honed rigorous risk management, quantitative modeling, and rapid decision-making skills that he now applies to product and engineering problems. Comfortable collaborating with business teams, brokers, and quant developers, he combines domain-driven pragmatism with a strong work ethic and clear communication. A mechanical engineering graduate from Washington University, he brings uncommon domain crossover: trading-grade automation and analytics expertise fused with modern web and backend development.
