About Me
I build systems that power real-time trading - and I build them with a quality mindset most engineers never develop. Currently on the Exchange API team at Robinhood, working in Go and Python on systems handling real-time trading at scale. Before writing backend code full-time, I was the person stress-testing those systems, which means I know exactly where things break.
My background spans QA automation, backend engineering, and frontend development - which means I understand systems end-to-end and care deeply about correctness at every layer.

Particulars
Work Experience
Exchange API team - I build the backend systems behind a real-time exchange and own features end-to-end, from writing the design doc to shipping them to production. Lately that meant Pricing Automation, Replace Order (FIX & REST), Maker-or-Cancel (MOC) and self-trade prevention. I also mentor an engineering intern. On the AI side, I've contributed a skill to our internal Claude Code marketplace, built MCP integrations for debugging and release monitoring, and defined how AI agents run our E2E tests.

Trading team - I was the one stress-testing the trading systems I now build on: load and stress-testing frameworks, release validation for staging and production, and test automation across FIX, REST and WebSocket APIs.

I'm always keeping an eye out for good opportunities. Whether you have a question, a project idea, or just want to say hi - I'd love to hear from you.
I'm particularly interested in backend systems, real-time infrastructure, and fintech. If you're working on something in that space, let's talk.
