Summary
Joe Iddon is an Associate Engineer at Man Group focused on optimizing ArcticDB, an open-source time-series database, where he applies modern C++ and Python to build storage backends and high-performance tick ingestion pipelines. With nine years of experience blending physics and software engineering, he brings a rigorous, analytical approach rooted in a Natural Sciences degree from Cambridge and a deep interest in general relativity and quantum topics. His background includes hands-on embedded and real-time work in satellite systems—designing log-filtering algorithms, CAN‑FD testers, and multithreaded C++ services—which informs his attention to low-level performance and concurrency. Joe also tutors GCSE/A-Level students and contributes to hardware-oriented projects, reflecting a knack for explaining complex concepts and prototyping practical electromechanical solutions. Quietly curious and methodical, he pairs research-grade problem framing with production-grade software delivery.
