Gengyu Shi is a Principal Quantitative Developer based in London with 11 years of experience building low-latency, production-grade systems for top-tier trading firms.

His background in telecommunications and electrical engineering underpins a systematic approach to complex distributed systems and performance optimization in global commodities and multi-asset trading. Colleagues rely on him to translate quant research into robust, scalable code and to lead cross-functional delivery across regional teams.
