Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiall Gallagher is a Principal Engineer based in London with 14 years of deep experience building low-latency, distributed systems across finance and crypto. He blends hands-on systems engineering—spanning Java/Aeron/Artio/Agrona stacks and protocol design—with entrepreneurial experience as the founder of a low-latency crypto exchange and the creator of an optionally typed language, Tern. His background includes technical architecture roles at Goldman Sachs and multiple consulting engagements delivering production-grade trading platforms and service discovery solutions. Passionate about messaging, networks and compiler design, he pairs research-rooted thinking (research in distributed systems) with pragmatic delivery of low-latency services. Colleagues would note his appetite for tackling protocol- and performance-level problems that most engineers avoid.
