Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGareth Richards is a seasoned C++ developer with over 20 years of hands-on systems and quantitative engineering experience and more than a decade focused in equity derivatives, risk and trading systems. He has built and enhanced production trading applications and risk engines—adding models, Historical Simulation VaR, sensitivity and P&L attribution—and integrates complex feeds across front, middle and back offices. Comfortable across C++, C#, SQL, Python, VBA and domain-specific tools like Sophis and Slang, he bridges quant and engineering teams to deliver transparent, auditable systems. A PhD in high-energy physics underpins his numerical rigor and propensity for tackling intractable problems, and his background in scientific computing (Fortran → C++) helps him translate research-grade models into robust production code. Based in London, he’s pragmatic about legacy integration yet actively seeks fresh challenges where deep domain knowledge and low-level engineering meet.
