Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Michael is a seasoned software leader with over a decade building front-office trading and risk systems for major banks, currently leading the EFx Trader Tools team at BNP Paribas CIB. He combines deep domain expertise in derivatives, indices and exchange-traded products with hands-on mastery of C#, C++, .NET/WPF, SQL and reactive architectures to deliver production-grade pricing and risk tools. His career spans roles from hands-on developer to global head of commodities development, frequently integrating complex regulatory and market feeds (MiFIR, MarkitWire, US withholding) into scalable platforms.

He brings a blend of trading-floor collaboration and technical stewardship, having led teams rewriting exotic derivatives pricing engines and intraday risk systems. Outside work he once cycled across the USA, a hint of resilience and discipline he carries into engineering leadership.
