About me

Location Ealing, London, United Kingdom
Introduction
I have spend most of my working life in the Financial Markets specialising in high availability, low latency, robust market data and transaction systems. A particular focus has been towards simplicity in concept, design, structure, coding, build, release, operations and upgrades. I have experience in overhauling and refactoring legacy systems to dramatically improve reliability, performance and time to market (the speed by which new enhancements can be delivered).

I am currently investigating the use of Erlang in the Financial Markets sector by creating a matching engine, broker connectivity, and a data feed that includes trades, market statistics and depth of market. The aim is to make this low latency, linearly scaleable to millions of instruments and bullet proof into the bargain.
