Software Development for Algorithmic Trading.

# Software Development for Algorithmic Trading I build trading systems that work while you sleep. I'm an independent software developer specializing in algorithmic trading infrastructure — from signal generation and execution engines to full-stack automated pipelines. My background combines deep technical expertise with a real understanding of markets: price action, order flow, technical analysis, and the mechanics of how trades actually get filled. ## What I Build **Execution Infrastructure.** Low-latency bots, smart order routing, cross-venue arbitrage systems. I design architectures that handle the messy reality of partial fills, slippage, and API rate limits — not just clean backtests. **On-Chain Trading Systems.** I work across Ethereum, L2 networks, and Solana — not at surface level, but down to mempool dynamics, gas optimization, and protocol-specific edge cases. I've built on both CEXs and DEXs, and currently focus heavily on Hyperliquid, one of the most interesting venues in the space right now. **Quantitative Research & ML Pipelines.** Feature engineering, time-series forecasting, neural network models for market data. I apply machine learning where it actually adds alpha — not as a buzzword, but as a tool with clear performance metrics and walk-forward validation. ## Tech Stack Python · Solidity · Rust · JavaScript I use AI agents extensively in my workflow — from Claude and OpenAI to locally hosted LLMs via OpenCode — for rapid prototyping, code generation, and research acceleration. This isn't a gimmick; it's how I deliver faster without cutting corners. ## How I Work Most developers in this space use similar tools and similar algorithms. The difference is in the details: how you handle edge cases at 3 AM when liquidity dries up, how you structure code so a strategy can be modified in hours instead of days, how you test against realistic market conditions instead of idealized data. I work as an independent contractor. Engagements range from architecture consulting and algorithm design to full implementation deployed on your infrastructure. Whether you need a single trading bot or an entire system from the ground up — let's talk.
