Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRafael Quintero is a Front Office Developer based in New York with seven years of experience building production-grade tooling for trading and risk teams at major banks. He specializes in translating business needs into technical solutions—ranging from RAG applications using GPT-4 and rapid Python scraping tools to cloud-native VaR calculators powered by Spark, Scala, and Databricks. Rafael has repeatedly reduced compute time and operational friction (including a tenfold VaR speedup and automated currency conversions), while securing workflows with Azure Key Vault and modern data pipelines. Comfortable interfacing directly with stakeholders, he has led onboarding for cross-organization teams and remediated critical risk feeds for complex instruments. He also contributes to internal learning initiatives—developing curricula and presenting technical finance concepts—which reflects a blend of hands-on engineering and a knack for knowledge transfer.
