I build trading systems. From a look at the chart and a click on Buy or Sell to the confirming ExecutionReport (35=8) from the venue. I build software that follows an order before, at and after it reaches the venue, including post-trade order-flow surveillance and reporting.

I make sure that end users get the best experience, and that banks and brokers can rest assured their setups are MiFIR, MiFID II and MAR compliant, reliable and performant, with the freshest market data, ticking like clockwork.

I love trading, and I'm happy to help retail and institutional customers and businesses embrace its beauty through the software I create.

Beyond the code

I trade myself too

I'm no stranger to staring at charts, waiting for a setup, writing and following trading plans with rock-solid entry and exit rules, and keeping a trading journal.

And build tools for myself

For my trading and for backtesting my strategies.

At home

The happiest husband in the world

Every day

Gym rat in the morning, desk-bound engineer during the day, a pillar of support for my family in the evening.
I love my routines and believe that steady, persistent improvement carries you a long way to the top.

Deputy Head of Development & Technical Lead
tick Trading Software AG
Market-abuse surveillance lead (EU MAR), deputy Head of Development, still hands-on on the trading platform.
- Surveillance API & web app: Built the product's REST/WebSocket API (Java 21, Vert.x 5) and a new bilingual Angular web app for compliance officers from scratch, from first commit to production in ~10 months; sized for ~3.5M orders a month and being rolled out to the ~12 banks and brokers that run the product.
- Technical lead: Own the roadmap, architecture, specifications and delivery dates; lead a small team; set up customer UAT with Ops; introduced OIDC sign-in (Keycloak, Microsoft Entra ID, MFA).
- Detection engine: Implemented the insider-trading detector and co-reworked momentum-ignition detection, in an engine that screens for 8 families of market abuse.
- AI-native engineering: Run sandboxed coding-agent loops on this product's real tickets under my review; built an agent-maintained knowledge map of a ~70-repository trading platform; co-authored the company's AI usage guidelines and gave the talk that introduced agentic coding to the team.
- Deputy Head of Development: Sprint planning, weekly engineering health checks, company strategy meetings; stand in for the Head of Development.

Software Engineer, trading platform
tick Trading Software AG
White-label trading platform behind the retail trading apps of German direct banks and online brokers; hands-on across its ~70 repositories, from the venue gateways to the apps.
- Order management & APIs: Hands-on on a platform that handles hundreds of orders per second from numerous banks and brokers at ~50 ms on average: MiFID II-compliant order flow, market-making and RFQ infrastructure, real-time order and portfolio streams, with order and portfolio state kept consistent when executions arrive late.
- Venue gateways: Designed and implemented FIX connectivity for CATS and Tradegate; extended an eight-venue trading infrastructure with advanced order types, auction-phase support and host failover, with order-state recovery after FIX session drops and restarts.
- Market data: Rewrote the Börse Stuttgart master-data import from Python to Java, worked on the LS Exchange trade and price feeds, connected a bank's own pricing system as a market-data plugin, and handled the regular Deutsche Börse T7 release upgrades.
- Trading apps: Made the white-label web trading app share one live connection and one settings state across all open browser tabs; added 1-second intraday candles end to end, from the history API to the chart; kept Time & Sales responsive under heavy load in the pro desktop client. Regular Angular and Capacitor upgrades.
Jan 2019 – Sep 2020Prague, Czech Republic
Software Engineer
Polarion (Siemens PLM Software)
Polarion ALM, Siemens' application lifecycle management platform, on an unusual stack: Eclipse Equinox (OSGi) with SVN as the persistence layer.
- Product development: Full-stack features and fixes across LiveDocs, test management and work items, from the Java/OSGi backend to the GWT web UI, plus a custom extension for a customer.
- UI modernisation: In a dedicated developer + UX team, redesigned the product's entire web frontend, replacing a dated look with a new visual language and SVG icons throughout.
Feb 2016 – Jan 2019Moscow, Russia
Java Software Developer
MoySklad (LogneX)
A leading Russian cloud service for inventory, retail and online-trade management.
- Public API: Took on a large share of the API team's work: new REST endpoints, SOAP services and the API documentation, plus integrations with the 1C accounting system, online stores and bank-statement import over the banks' OAuth APIs.
- Point of sale: Worked on a new Scala.js POS client connected to fiscal cash registers (ATOL, Evotor): store-stock synchronisation and sales registration.
- Team lead: Co-led a team of five developers: sprint planning, process, retrospectives.

Senior Software Engineer · Technical Lead · Deputy Head of Development

I design and build trading systems, from the click on Buy to the venue and back.

Senior engineer with 10+ years of experience, including 6 years building trading and brokerage systems. Hands-on across order routing, FIX venue integrations, real-time market data, APIs and market-abuse surveillance. Used to the problems that keep trading systems honest: order-state consistency across disconnects and restarts, races between orders, cancels and rejects, concurrency, failover and observability. Recently led the delivery of a Java/Vert.x and Angular compliance product from initial architecture to production. Experienced in technical leadership while remaining hands-on.
