Top SchoolShay Gordon is a seasoned software, data and cloud engineer with over three decades of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, particularly in financial services. He has led the development of high-performance trading and market data platforms—authoring systems used by institutional clients and rebuilding Bloomberg’s API—while more recently focusing on cloud architecture, ML and platform engineering. Comfortable across C/C++, Java, Go, Python and cloud stacks (AWS/GCP), he combines hands-on implementation with technical leadership and mentoring.
