Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhaedon Sinis is a quantitative analyst and seasoned software engineer with 14 years of industry experience bridging Wall Street trading desks and Silicon Valley product teams. He combines deep expertise in interest-rate and FX derivatives risk with production-grade systems design—having led recommendation platforms and backend migrations at Google and built computational-geometry pipelines for architectural CAD at a startup. Known for pragmatic engineering rigor, he champions code health, testing, and reliable serving infrastructure while also contributing to product launches that required privacy-aware, high-availability backends. His early career as an interest-rate derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo informs a rare cross-domain fluency in finance and distributed systems. Based in Copenhagen and pursuing CFA Level I, he uniquely pairs quantitative finance credentials with a Stanford MS in Computer Science and hands-on experience shipping large-scale recommender and audio/ML-integrated systems. An uncommon detail: he has a background in flute performance from Juilliard pre-college, reflecting disciplined craft alongside technical depth.
