about

I build and maintain low-latency C++ feed handlers for real-time market data infrastructure at NatWest, working with the OnixS FIX engine across 60+ production venues. I've led venue migrations end to end, from design through certification to production rollout, and I care most about the parts most people would call boring: failover logic, sequence number recovery, and the edge cases that only show up under load.

Outside work I write small C++ and Python tools, tinker with game engine components, and read about market microstructure.
