Summary
Lionel Girardin is a project lead developer and entrepreneur with over a decade building high-performance trading platforms and automated strategies that have generated more than $475M in client revenue. He combines deep C++/Linux low-latency expertise with Python-driven strategy prototyping, having architected market-making, arbitrage and HFT systems deployed across venues like CBOE, CME, Bitmex, Binance and Deribit. As co-founder of ScriptedEdge he designed mission-critical features—auto-quoting, risk matrices, DMA integrations and a Tick Management Algo that reportedly predicts short-term ticks with high accuracy—and he now runs hosted automated desks from OVH. Comfortable bridging Windows analytics stacks and Linux critical-path execution, he focuses on squeezing latency and operational performance while mentoring small engineering teams. Based in the Greater Chicago area, he pairs formal software engineering training with a practical, trader-facing product mindset that turns quantitative ideas into production systems.
