About
I am a Technical Product Manager and Systems Architect with 15+ years of deep software engineering roots (Java/Spring, Scala, C/C++, Python). My expertise lies at the intersection of FinTech, algorithmic trading platforms, and high‑load B2B systems where reliability, low latency, and data integrity are non‑negotiable.
Unlike traditional Product Managers, I don’t just manage backlogs; I understand system constraints at the architecture level. I bridge the gap between complex engineering realities and scalable business goals. Having architected live front‑office trading systems and exchange software, I know exactly how market data ingestion, signal engines, and order execution pipelines operate under the hood.
My analytical foundation allows me to build end‑to‑end data workflows: from event modeling and data marts (ClickHouse, PostgreSQL) to orchestration (Airflow) and visualization (Grafana, Metabase). I run A/B tests, perform cohort analysis, and write production‑grade SQL and Python (pandas, scikit‑learn) daily.
