Before moving to Web3, I spent six years building execution engines for algorithmic trading desks in London. Now based in Dubai, my quantitative engineering studio focuses exclusively on ultra-low latency infrastructure for decentralized exchanges. I don’t build shiny web interfaces or retail trading bots; I write bare-metal Rust systems that sit right next to validator nodes. My code monitors mempools to capture arbitrage opportunities and statistical mispricings. Because DeFi is a highly adversarial environment, I prioritize capital preservation above everything else, baking automated slippage circuit-breakers and sandwich-attack protections directly into the core logic of my deployments.
