Summary
Imran Chaudhry is a Staff Software Engineer based in London with 15 years of experience building low-latency, front-to-back trading and market data systems for investment banks, hedge funds and crypto firms. He combines deep market microstructure and tick-data expertise with hands-on engineering across C++, Java, C#, Python and .NET Core, having architected high-performance replication, exchange feed handlers and brokerage pricing/execution platforms. At Ripple and Blockchain.com he led liquidity and market-making infrastructure work, while earlier roles delivered time-series replication at DataStax and strategic tick-data architectures for FX and derivatives. Imran’s background blends research-facing tooling for quants with production-grade distributed systems, Kafka/Cassandra expertise and a track record of replacing legacy platforms with modern, high-throughput services. Unusually, he pairs a Cambridge computer science MA and a CQF with practical experience mapping 40+ exchanges into a unified tick schema, enabling both rapid execution and rigorous quantitative research.
