I'm a network and infrastructure engineer. I've spent most of my
career building the systems high-frequency trading runs on, where the
whole game is moving data between exchanges as quickly as possible.
I got into it at GETCO in 2009, where I helped build a
Chicago-to-New York microwave link that later became part of the New
Line Networks joint venture, and ran data center and network
infrastructure across our trading sites. After GETCO merged into KCG,
I led the infrastructure performance team and then headed
infrastructure for the group. I joined Jump Trading in 2017, started
on the network team, and over seven years grew into running US trading
infrastructure and global platforms, covering our colocations, the
WAN, and the custom hardware the trading stack ran on.
In July 2024 I left to cofound DoubleZero, where I'm also CTO at
Malbec Labs. We're building a high-performance fiber network for
distributed systems, applying what I learned in trading to networks
well beyond finance.
