Experience
Back-end Software Developer and Applicative DBA
https://sivron.com/I significantly improved an API for a leading broker in the stock markets by developing a new order distribution system. Initially, the system used extended stored procedures, which posed potential security risks and were inadequate for high-frequency trading requirements.
To address these issues, I transitioned the system to SQL CLR, aiming to achieve ultra-low latency. The original setup loaded in 800 microseconds, which I successfully reduced to 200 microseconds by optimizing in-memory socket management and ensuring persistent, rapid data access. My extensive knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server, SQL CLR, and Windows Internals was crucial in this enhancement.
This strategic upgrade not only secured the system but also dramatically boosted the broker's trading performance, leading to a 30% increase in overall trading volume. This had a significant impact on the stock market, showcasing the vital role of secure and efficient order processing in high-frequency trading environments.

Python and C++ Developer
The project consisted of a server-less distributed system. Each component is stand-alone and has to communicate as a whole unit.
The project included programming self-sustain units, designing and building a structured system architecture, testing the unit, and developing methods to create integration tests.
The project included programming self-sustain units, designing and building a structured system architecture, testing the unit, and developing methods to create integration tests.
Monolithic to Microservices
I led two back-end and front-end teams of eight developers, two DevOps, and two automation QA to support the monolithic product. Even though it was working and had clients, it was not scalable, had no potential to be sold, lacked the CI/CD, and development was manual.
I adapted and created a Jenkins pipeline for CI/CD while recruiting people to maintain and enhance these capabilities. I also trained two support members to use Selenium and Python and introduced Gherkin to enable automation QA as a behavior test. After two months, we had a CI/CD with behavior test coverage that allowed us to start tearing up the system for microservices. I designed the system architecture to become a microservices system by breaking the system into microservices. After about six months, we changed 70% of the system to microservices, with a behavior test that kept the system's integrity.

Development of a High-frequency System
I designed and developed high-frequency trading systems.
The system gathers data through an offline process and transforms the best strategy into the execution process. It has to handle trading and trend trading.

Traffic Control for Indoor Self-driving Vehicles
https://www.634.ai/I designed a traffic control system using Python, C++, DDS, and integration with ROS2 to regulate autonomous (SDVs) and non-autonomous vehicles, pedestrians, and automated components in a factory.
The Traffic Prediction Module in Python processed camera and sensor data to forecast movements, communicating via DDS. The Central Control System, implemented in C++, managed traffic flow, prioritizing SDVs, pedestrians, and vehicle safety. It sent real-time commands to ROS2 nodes for SDV navigation.
Raspberry Pi devices, acting as thin clients for signals and doors, were controlled through DDS messages. They efficiently activated or deactivated signals and doors based on traffic conditions, ensuring seamless synchronization without heavy processing.
This architecture combined real-time predictive control with lightweight automation, delivering a scalable and responsive solution for complex factory traffic.

Robot Acceptance Test System
https://www.getfabric.com/The client needed a system to run acceptance tests on robots post-manufacturing. I designed and developed a dual-component infrastructure consisting of an embedded unit on the robot (Linux) and a test server (Windows). The robot received commands from a 3rd-party API provided by the manufacturing factory. I implemented a communication component using RabbitMQ to coordinate between the test server and robot, enabling seamless execution of tests.
The embedded unit executed commands locally, activating various components to perform specific tasks, while the test server defined acceptance criteria, orchestrated tests, and generated detailed reports. The process involved copying files to the robot, remotely running commands, and collecting results. Using a tech stack of C#, Python, FTP, Bash, and RabbitMQ, I ensured smooth communication and integration.
This system automated testing, ensuring compliance with quality standards while providing reliable, real-time feedback. The solution was scalable and efficient, streamlining the acceptance process for the client.

Bluetooth to Windows Connection
https://medium.com/@eyeNjoy/eye-n-joy-bringing-a-brighter-future-to-millions-of-people-around-the-world-b2a2abf4744dThis project is a combination of networking and low-level programming.
We created it using a combination of C#, Universal Windows Protocol (UWP), and the .NET Standard/Core/Framework.
The client wanted to connect a Bluetooth device to Windows 10. The device had no UI, and communication with it was through BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).
After preparing the requirements and designing the system architecture, I connected the Bluetooth using UWP to Windows. I linked it to the API through TCP/IP sockets, which was exposed as a .NET Framework client library.

High Frequency Trading Machine
http://sgtglobal.comI led the development of a high-frequency trading (HFT) system that integrated real-time execution with predictive analytics, optimizing trading strategies for securities and futures markets. By combining day trading with trend trading, the system delivered both immediate decisions and data-driven insights.
I designed and implemented the execution engine using multithreaded C++, achieving sub-millisecond precision. This component processed real-time data while incorporating adaptive risk management and order prioritization to ensure efficiency and compliance in volatile markets. I also developed an analytics module leveraging deep learning to analyze historical and real-time data overnight, automating strategy adjustments to keep the system responsive to market changes.
The system capitalized on high-volatility opportunities and trend insights by balancing short-term agility with long-term profitability. Its modular, scalable architecture, built for cross-platform deployment on Windows and Linux, ensured seamless integration of new features.
My work resulted in a 5% monthly revenue increase by combining precision, adaptability, and innovation, setting a benchmark for HFT systems in challenging trading environments.

HubSpot-integrated Chatbot Development
I developed a chatbot integrated with HubSpot to improve customer engagement and automate CRM tasks. Using Node.js, I built an architecture focused on scalability and responsiveness to handle real-time interactions efficiently.
To integrate with HubSpot, I utilized its APIs to establish seamless data exchange, enabling automatic updates to customer records. I designed modular conversational flows with logic-driven structures to adapt to various customer inquiries, ensuring relevant and precise interactions. I implemented a MongoDB-based system for state management and tracking to maintain the continuity of conversations.
During development, I created middleware for secure API requests and webhook triggers to manage real-time notifications. After rigorous testing for performance and accuracy under various scenarios, I deployed the chatbot in a cloud environment using Docker containers, making it scalable and portable.
The final solution automated tasks like lead capture, follow-ups, and customer support while synchronizing HubSpot CRM. This approach improved operational efficiency and ensured consistent, up-to-date customer records—the project successfully combined technical architecture with business needs.
