Summary
Jean Arnaud is a software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in wealth management, algorithmic trading, and financial integrations across both traditional and decentralized finance. He has moved from research-driven work on adaptive controllers during his PhD to production-grade systems at AWS, startups, DeFi firms, and now portfolio management at LGT Private Banking. Jean combines deep expertise in distributed systems, high-performance algorithms and portfolio optimisation with hands-on development in Java and cloud environments.
