Implement error-handling and robust logging and observability for real-world deployment and resilience
Backtesting and Performance Optimization
-
Develop high-speed, low-latency backtesting engines tailored to your strategy
-
Apply advanced efficiency optimization techniques (e.g. genetic algorithms, ML) to improve results faster
Production Systems and Integration
-
Architect backend systems and API integrations that are scalable and maintainable
-
Set up high throughput, scalable infrastructures to support robust production environments
Software Quality Consulting
-
Refactor and improve existing systems for better performance, readability, and reliability

Project Approaches
From Strategy
to Execution
For traders & quants that want to translate their well-defined strategy logic into code
Turning Your Manual Strategy Into Code
For traders that want to formalize their manual-trading thought process and translate it into code
01
Initial Consultation
(Free – 15 minutes)
Clarify your goals, strategy, and platform requirements.
→ Outcome: Confirm fit and define the challenge
Let’s hop on a quick call to discuss your goals, challenges, and the feasibility of your project. I’ll ask targeted questions to quickly understand what you’re looking to build or validate.
02
Requirements Deep-Dive
We formalize your trading logic and define the tech specs.
→ Outcome: Clear, actionable development plan
We take a deeper dive into your trading strategy, platform needs, and performance expectations. If needed, I’ll help articulate or formalize your algorithm using pseudocode or flowcharts.
03
Scope & Proposal
You receive a detailed proposal with scope, timeline, and cost.
→ Outcome: Full transparency before kickoff
I’ll provide you with a detailed project scope, milestone-based timeline, and pricing estimate. This includes:
-
Scope of work
-
Deliverables
-
Estimated effort
-
Development timeline
-
Tech stack
04
Development & Testing
I build your system with clean, well-documented code.
→ Outcome: Outcome: A reliable, maintainable solution
I start building. Throughout this phase, you can expect:
-
Clean, well-structured, and well-documented code
-
Regular check-ins or demo calls
-
Thorough testing and validation at every step
05
Delivery & Handover
Deployment, walkthrough, and full documentation provided.
→ Outcome: You own and understand your system
Once the work is complete, I’ll walk you through the final deliverables and provide documentation, usage guides, and setup instructions. If needed, I’ll assist with deployment or integration into your existing systems.
06
Optional Ongoing Support
Post-launch fixes, updates, and performance tuning.
→ Outcome: Long-term value, no technical
After delivery, I’m available for bug fixes, feature additions, or ongoing improvements on a retainer or ad-hoc basis.
01
Discovery Call
(Free – 15 minutes)
Understand your trading style and automation goals.
→ Outcome: High-level alignment
We'll start by discussing your trading style, what you currently do manually, and what outcomes you're hoping to achieve through automation.
02
Exploration & Strategy Mapping
We extract rules, signals, and heuristics from your manual process.
→ Outcome: Initial working model of your strategy
I’ll guide you through a structured session (or series of async exchanges) where we map out your trading heuristics, signals, and decision criteria. We’ll explore:
-
Trade triggers (price action, indicators, volume, etc.)
-
Entry and exit logic
-
Risk management
-
Instruments and platforms
03
Prototype & Iterate
Agile, feedback-driven development cycles to refine both code and strategy.
→ Outcome: A functioning, testable algorithm
I begin developing a minimal prototype that captures your strategy’s core logic. We’ll test, tweak, and iterate in short cycles to evolve both the strategy and the software.
Each iteration may involve:
-
Implementing new rules or logic
-
Testing different parameterizations
-
Reviewing trade logs and outputs together
04
Backtesting
& Performance Review
Run the strategy on historical data to validate and calibrate.
→ Outcome: Quantified performance + insights
Once the prototype stabilizes, we run it through historical data to stress-test and analyze performance. This often sparks new ideas or adjustments to the strategy.
05
Production-Ready System
We harden the system: performance, error handling, deployment, etc.
→ Outcome: A ready-to-run, robust trading bot
Once the strategy passes our bar for confidence, I’ll focus on performance, robustness, and readiness for real-world use:
-
Error handling
-
Logging
-
Integration with broker/exchange APIs
-
Optional GUI or automation workflows
06
Ongoing Support
Post-launch tweaks, strategy enhancements, or full revamps.
→ Outcome: Continuous evolution, without technical debt
As markets change and new ideas emerge, I’m available to help evolve your strategy, test variations, or extend the system’s capabilities.
