## Current Focus

I'm currently building a comprehensive high-frequency trading system that combines cutting-edge C++ performance with modern web technologies. This project serves as both a learning endeavor and a practical exploration of ultra-low-latency systems engineering.

  • Low-Latency Systems: Implementing kernel-bypass networking with DPDK for microsecond-level market data processing
  • Backtesting Framework: Developing high-fidelity simulation capabilities with realistic market microstructure modeling
  • Real-time Monitoring: Creating web-based dashboards for system performance and trading metrics
  • Risk Management: Building comprehensive portfolio monitoring and risk assessment tools
