About Thierry

I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Quantitative Developer with over 15 years of experience designing and building high-performance financial systems using Java and Python. My background spans market risk, pricing, trading platforms, and distributed systems, with a strong focus on building scalable, resilient, and low-latency applications.
Alongside my professional experience, I'm working on Web3 fintech project where I designed and developed a non-custodial trading and investment platform. I built the backend architecture, trading engine, market data services, and blockchain integrations, giving me hands-on experience with smart contract interaction, DeFi protocols, digital wallets, and Web3 infrastructure.
