His background spans algorithmic trading roles at Optiver and Icoinic, applied CS and EE training from Instituto Superior Técnico, and practical experimentation as a self-employed retail HFT trader. He brings a blend of production-grade systems thinking, microsecond-conscious optimization, and a demonstrated ability to turn quantitative ideas into resilient, automated infrastructure.
