Senior🎓
Top SchoolDerek Wright is a Trading System Architect based in London with over two decades of software experience and 13 years focused in capital markets. He designs and delivers resilient, production-critical systems—trade monitoring, collateral management, intraday risk reporting and large End User Computing monitoring platforms—that remain in active use. Comfortable across paradigms, he blends object-oriented C# engineering with functional programming in F# and Haskell, and pairs that with deep SQL Server expertise and pragmatic TDD. He has led technology at a growing hedge fund, implemented real-time offsite disaster recovery, and driven seamless, automated upgrades and testing. Known for responding to urgent business requests and shipping under external constraints, he also has a knack for persuading change-resistant users to adopt durable solutions. His background in physics and advanced computer science underpins a methodical, systems-oriented approach to complex trading problems.
