Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Guyver is a senior software engineer with 14+ years of hands-on experience building low-latency trading infrastructure and analytics platforms, most recently as a Tech Lead on Jefferies' Delta 1 desk and now at Citadel Securities. He specializes in kdb+, Python analytics, and high-performance C++ integrations (notably custom work on the Tbricks platform), and has designed Java compute platforms and backtesting systems for major trading desks. Comfortable owning full technical stacks and server environments, he has led global tick-history and load-balancing projects and implemented cross-language drivers that bridge kdb+ with enterprise systems. A pragmatic engineer who moves between systems-level optimization and developer-facing tooling, he also pursues assembly programming as a personal interest—an indicator of deep curiosity about low-level performance. Based in London, he blends finance-domain expertise with durable platform engineering and a track record of shipping reliable, production-critical systems.
