Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaron Arakelian is a software engineer with a decade of experience building high-performance back-end systems, primarily in .NET, with deep domain focus in financial technologies and market data. He has balanced roles at top trading firms (SIG, DRW) and a four-year ROTC/USAF commitment, combining disciplined operational security with production-grade engineering—he currently holds TS/SCI clearance with a CI polygraph. Daron pairs low-latency trading systems experience with DevSecOps practices and recently completed an AI Fellowship at MIT, bridging ML concepts with finance and infrastructure. A Drexel-trained computer engineer, he also channels personal interests into code—his GitHub projects reflect a playful tilt toward the video games he plays, hinting at a practical, user-focused approach to tooling.
