About

I am an Algo Engineer at Hudson River Trading, helping Algo Developers develop and test new ideas and deploy them into the market.

My interests are widespread, from AI to algorithms and data structures to high performance computing. I am an emphatic proponent of functional programming and strong, static type systems. I believe software should be written to be economical – that is, not unduly wasteful of memory or CPU cycles.
