Summary
Marc Lefkon is a senior software programmer with 25+ years of hands-on experience building finance-focused systems—from real-time hedge fund P&L and portfolio management to capital markets and prime brokerage accounting. Equally comfortable as a solo founder and as a team lead, he has shipped production C#/.NET solutions, Excel add-ins (Excel-DNA), web services, and PHP/MySQL web apps while overseeing outsourced 24/7 support and junior staff. His background in civil systems engineering and long tenure at firms like Morgan Stanley and Banc of America Securities give him a rare combination of rigorous systems thinking and deep domain knowledge in trading, fund accounting, and securities operations. Based in Shanghai, he pairs native English with excellent Chinese and a practical toolbelt that spans MS SQL Server, SQLite, VBA, WPF/XAML, and deployment/tooling like Git, TFS, IIS and Apache. Notably, he turns Excel into first-class delivery platforms (e.g., mobile alerts and real-time web-scraped analytics)—a recurring theme across his startups and consulting work.
