Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Hamilton is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years’ experience building low-latency trading systems, enterprise time-series platforms and high-frequency analytics using KDB+/q, Java and SQL. He has led large-scale platform transformations—scaling a kdb-based big data platform from 50 to 500+ monthly users, re-architecting for horizontal scalability, and merging siloed teams to cut duplication and maintenance. His hands-on background spans front-office Java feed handlers, CI pipelines, and dramatic performance optimizations (e.g., cutting portfolio margin runs from nine hours to 45 minutes). Comfortable bridging quant and engineering worlds, he creates programmable platforms that let quants ship reliable portlets atop robust infrastructure. Based in the UK, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with deep expertise in time-series and grid computing, and often delivers practical automation that accelerates development velocity.
