Senior🎓
Top SchoolHector Stalker is a Technology Director and low-latency systems specialist with 11 years of experience building correctness- and performance-critical software for electronic trading at Morgan Stanley. He designs and owns soft real-time, cross-region services and implements core components in C++ (with Java and Python), combining deep systems-level expertise with pragmatic delivery. His interests span programming language design, optimizing compilers, developer tooling and reverse engineering, reflected in past work on a strongly-typed functional language JIT and low-latency logging. Colleagues rely on him as an SME for latency and uptime-critical infrastructure where subtle implementation choices directly affect business outcomes. British-based and open to relocation, he brings a hobbyist’s long-standing curiosity—tweaking environments so they can be forgotten for a decade—into disciplined, production-grade engineering.
