Performance-focused Software Engineer with deep expertise in designing and building high-performance, low-latency systems at scale. Proven track record in high-frequency trading (HFT), where microsecond-level optimizations, deterministic performance, and CPU-level tuning are critical. Strong background in distributed systems, concurrency control, and resilient systems architecture. Passionate about understanding the internals of modern CPUs, memory subsystems, and networking stacks to extract every ounce of performance from the hardware. Adept at leveraging data-driven approaches to guide system design, optimise critical code paths, and build observability into complex, real-time systems
