Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXiaoyou Chen is the founder of VN Trading Technologies and the creator of vn.py, the top-ranked open-source quant trading framework on GitHub, with 11 years of experience building production trading systems. He has led option trading and volatility/arbitrage desks at multiple Shanghai firms, designing high-frequency and OTC market-making strategies and developing proprietary trading platforms in Python and C++. His work bridges quantitative research and software engineering—shipping both research-grade models and robust execution systems used by professional traders. Trained at Cass Business School (MSc Mathematical Trading and Finance) and Lancaster University, he combines rigorous academic grounding with hands-on system design. Less obvious: his open-source flagship has become a foundation for internal prop systems he later commercialized, demonstrating an uncommon path from community project to institutional product.
