Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Lange is an experienced infrastructure and platform engineering leader with nine years in senior roles and over two decades of hands-on systems work, currently leading low-latency trading infrastructure at Morgan Stanley from the New York metro area. He specializes in designing secure, high-performance platforms across physical infrastructure, networking, OS, and automation — marrying Linux, specialized NICs, multicast/TCP networking, and observability tools to shave microseconds while keeping systems stable. Nick is pragmatic about technology choices, emphasizing repeatable patterns over specific vendors, and has driven global co-location builds, DC strategy, and capacity frameworks that translated technical tradeoffs into multi-million dollar business decisions. He blends deep debugging instincts (“arcane things in anything”) with data-driven automation using Python, Kafka/NiFi, Ansible, Nomad and monitoring stacks to reduce required expert knowledge across distributed operations. Beyond finance, he advises on privacy-preserving consumer and SMB solutions through 5L Labs, reflecting an ongoing interest in applied research and practical security. Colleagues rely on him for rare cross-domain fluency: from kernel/OS-level tuning to boardroom cost transparency.
