Summary
Went from no programming background to building and operating production
algorithmic trading and observability systems in about four months.
AI-first development as the working model: I own architecture,
requirements, debugging, and deployment.
Background in retail management: team building, sales, and P&L
ownership.
Projects
Multi-Exchange Algorithmic Trading Server
Live in production
- Webhook-driven trading server running a trend-following strategy across multiple perpetual-futures markets, managing positions across multiple accounts on more than one exchange from a single signal source.
- ATR-based risk management, tiered slippage, race-condition guards, automatic state recovery on restart. Per-account flip, force-close, and manual size adjustment, all gated behind an admin token.
- Live operator dashboard with a two-tier auth split: separate credentials for admins (write) versus read-only monitors, so a leaked monitor credential cannot place a trade.
- Production-hardened: built and shipped fixes for infinite exit loops from API verification failures, double-order race conditions, signal repainting, and an SDK-level hang that needed a custom stack-trace dump on detection.
Stack Python, async I/O, web framework + reverse proxy, systemd, embedded SQL
Directional Market Maker multi-pair, signal-aware quoting
Live in production
- Avellaneda-Stoikov-style two-sided quoting with signal-aware directional skewing. Reads position state from the upstream trading server to align quotes with the active trend.
- Per-pair PnL kill switches (intentionally pair-level, not pooled across the book). Debounce logic so a single bad tick or zero-price read cannot force a trade.
- Hang-detector sidecar that triggers a stack-trace dump on the wedged process after a configurable log-silence threshold.
- Control API never exposed to the public internet; reachable only through a privately scoped tunnel from a separate ops host.
Stack Python, async I/O, systemd, restricted SSH transport
Autonomous AI Agent Fleet production-grade agentic operations
Live in production
- Code-review agents: scheduled review of the trading and market-maker codebases against a security-first rubric with tiered alerting. The first production run caught real bugs on day one and has continued to find regressions.
- Performance-monitor agent: regime-aware periodic recommendation reports. Pulls multi-month price and funding history, discovered and worked around two undocumented exchange-API pagination limits, runs k-means regime clustering on engineered features.
- Log-stream monitor agent: persistent live-log stream into the model with a structured pattern catalog across multiple primitive families (temporal, sustained-state, filesystem-watch, HTTP snapshot-delta) and a cross-pattern correlation layer that collapses paired signals into a single combined alert.
- Source code reaches the agent host only through one-way read-only mirrors, never through any external code-hosting system.
Stack agentic CLI (subscription auth), systemd timers, restricted SSH transport, chat-platform webhooks
Operations Bot chat-driven control plane
Live in production
- Slash-command interface for controlling the agent fleet and trading systems: status reads, pause/resume, position queries, kill switch, watchlist CRUD.
- Routes over a restricted private tunnel to internal control APIs; nothing exposed to the public internet. Designed for fast phone use: space-separated args with smart defaults.
- Destructive actions (kill switch) require a typed-confirmation token, run server-side timeouts, and write to an audit log on every invocation.
Stack Python, restricted SSH transport, web framework
Consumer Stress Index daily macro indicator
Live, auth-gated
- Computes and publishes a curated daily consumer-stress index from public macro series and a market-data watchlist.
- Cached client over a public chart endpoint, with handling for source-side outages and rate limits.
- Composite weights driven by what the historical data actually supports; calibration window chosen after discovering and excluding an anomalous early-period revision.
Stack Python, web framework, embedded SQL, public macro APIs
Live Operations Dashboard market-maker telemetry
Live, auth-gated
- Operator dashboard over the market-maker process. Periodic snapshot timer writes to a local time-series store.
- Charts above raw state dumps: PnL curve, drawdown gauge, fills volume, cycle-health sparklines.
- Kill-switch UI with typed-confirmation dialog, server-side timeout, and a confirmation guard that prevents accidental fires.
Stack Python, web framework, embedded SQL, vanilla JS charts
Walk-Forward Optimization Pipeline strategy research
tooling
Research tooling
- Hyperparameter-search framework for trading strategies with a multi-seed robustness check baked in (parallel optimization isn't deterministic even with a fixed seed; multi-seed catches that).
- Treats the pipeline itself as the deliverable: multiple candidate strategies run through it have failed walk-forward analysis, which is the point. The framework is the durable asset.
- A library of trading-platform strategies built in parallel against a consistent architecture: ATR-based risk, trend filters, webhook-ready alerting.

Personal Finance Terminal live UI
Live, auth-gated
Personal net-worth and budgeting interface with live price feeds. Same deploy shape as the rest of the stack.
