Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Barnard is a software engineer with 12 years' experience building low-latency finance and real-time systems, currently focused on engineering at Marshall Wace after seven years developing analytics and trading libraries for Fixed Income at UBS. He combines deep systems-level C/C++ expertise with Python and C#—applied to multi-threading, template metaprogramming and automated trading—backed by strong quantitative training (Oxford Physics, MSc Applicable Mathematics, and financial engineering certifications). His background spans buy-side and sell-side trading tech, UAV communications platforms, and operational research, giving him a pragmatic edge in turning complex models into production-grade, high-performance code. Known for bridging quant research and software delivery, he often works on the most latency-sensitive components and core analytics libraries rather than surface tooling.
