Lisbon, Portugal
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Smith is a consultant software engineer based in Lisbon with two decades of experience delivering trading, risk and commodity systems across banks and corporates. He blends low-latency C++ quant work with Java and Python integrations, having led architecture and CI/CD modernisation efforts that replaced fragile manual processes and enabled real‑time pricing and execution workflows. Daniel has repeatedly shaped large-scale, domain-driven platforms—designing event-driven, fault-tolerant microservices for CTRM and algorithmic trading—while also implementing pragmatic tooling like DSLs and automated language bindings to accelerate front-office delivery. His background spans structured notes, CVA/FVA, clearing and commodities, and he often operates as the bridge between quant teams and production engineering. An understated strength is his knack for turning legacy, spreadsheet-driven processes into auditable, automated systems that reduce operational risk and speed time-to-market.
