Top SchoolMarcus Ackland is a senior engineer with eight years’ experience bridging product and development in fixed income ETFs, indices, and trading operations. He combines hands-on Python automation, SQL data pipelines, and quantitative modeling to streamline settlement, NAV pricing and position management at firms like Virtu Financial and ICE. Trained as an aerospace engineer (MSc, KTH) with thesis work at NASA on adaptive interplanetary trajectories, he brings a research-driven approach to solving financial data and automation problems.
