Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Carter is a software engineer and tech lead with 12 years of experience building full‑stack, cloud-native applications for financial services and enterprise clients. He blends research rigor from a PhD in Computer Science with hands-on delivery at firms like HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Toyota North America and current work at HedgeFlows, often owning both front-end and back-end concerns. Comfortable across Node.js, React and scalable AWS architectures, he has led greenfield projects and production MiFID II transformations that demanded reliability and regulatory awareness. Simon also runs a consulting/director role at QIANALYTICS, reflecting an entrepreneurial streak alongside engineering practice. His academic work on statistical machine translation (12 publications) underpins a strong background in large-scale data processing and probabilistic methods not obvious from his commercial roles. Based in Stony Stratford, he combines pragmatic delivery with deep technical foundations and experience operating in high-stakes financial environments.
