Jean-luc Bonnafoux is an experienced IT specialist and manager with nine years focused on building and maintaining Summit-based trading infrastructure for interest rate and equity derivatives. At HSBC France he leads a seven-person team developing Summit add-ins and the MUST FT platform, with deep practical expertise in C++, Summit API, grid computing and Oracle-backed systems. His background includes architecting historical VaR and market risk sensitivity solutions, blending low-level numeric engineering with production-grade platform orchestration. Comfortable both as a hands-on developer and project manager, he has a track record of translating complex quant requirements into robust, scalable C++ implementations. Unusually for a quant IT lead, he pairs formal computer science training with a management master’s, enabling him to bridge technical design and team delivery effectively.
