I've been a software developer for over 5 years and an active financial market trader for over 4 years. Naturally, I developed a strong desire to combine both worlds—and algorithmic trading is exactly where they intersect.
My journey started small: I built a personal lot size calculator to manage risk more precisely. Then I created a Telegram trading bot that sends real-time price alerts and executes simple orders based on predefined conditions. Each project taught me more about market data, execution logic, and system reliability. The hunger just kept growing.
Now I want to take this further – working on institutional-grade systems where performance, latency, and reliability truly matter.
I told my quant model a joke. It replied, “Backtest failed.”
