Summary
Jidé Anene is a Lead Software Engineer in Seattle with 11 years of experience building distributed, production-grade systems across finance and aerospace, currently helping JPMorgan process $5 trillion in daily payments through microservices, data pipelines, and ML-enriched integrations. Trained as an economist and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, he blends rigorous data-driven analysis and machine learning foundations with practical software architecture and full-stack development. His background spans low-level C++ for safety-critical avionics, cloud-native services on AWS/EKS, Kafka-based pipelines, and front-end micro frontends—making him fluent across the stack and lifecycle. He has also engineered a seven-figure trading system as an independent options trader and led open-source collaborations, demonstrating creativity in both research and entrepreneurial settings. Unusually, his path from economics to MS Computer Science fuels a rare perspective on sequential decision systems and the economics of software design.
