Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Franzen is a Stockholm-based software consultant and founder with over 10 years of focused experience building performance-sensitive server-side systems for finance, exchanges, and market-data providers. He specializes in architecture, design and implementation of bespoke trading, order routing and market data aggregation software with soft real-time requirements, bringing a craftsman’s insistence on elegant, maintainable code. Peter pairs deep systems and network programming skills with information retrieval and static analysis experience, having even revisited Knuth-level theory while reimplementing a bioinformatics search engine. As a serial founder and former CTO, he thrives on greenfield projects where a small, skilled team can outcompete generic solutions and outsourced efforts. He is pragmatic about using standard tools when appropriate but prefers to engage where specialist engineering yields measurable advantage. Colleagues would note his unusual belief that ugliness in code signals incomplete problem understanding—a principle that guides both his design choices and mentoring.
