Senior🎓
Top SchoolMalcolm Wallace is a Director-level quant developer with 19 years of experience blending functional programming research and production-grade financial modelling, currently leading Haskell-based analytics in Standard Chartered’s Financial Markets group. He moved from an academic research fellowship in computer science into quant engineering, bringing deep expertise in compilation, embedded systems and safety analysis to pragmatic, high-stakes trading environments. A long-time Haskell contributor, he has helped improve the Cabal build system to support legacy compilers and resolve tricky type/import issues—an indicator of his attention to tooling and cross-compiler robustness. Based in England, he pairs doctoral-level rigor with hands-on implementation, focusing on reliable, auditable models rather than hiring or vendor management.
