Client Results

Every metric below is from a real engagement with a real trading firm. No synthetic benchmarks. No cherry-picked timeframes. Independently verifiable.

Execution Performance
340µs → 47µs

92% Faster Strategy Optimisation

Client: Mid-frequency equity desk, AUM £200M+

Eliminated the network latency bottleneck in a genetic optimisation pipeline, enabling 10x wider exploration of the strategy parameter space in the same wall-clock time — directly accelerating time-to-alpha.

Machine Learning
68% Win Rate

Signal Filter Accuracy

Client: Systematic macro fund

Engineered a two-layer stacked ML architecture where Layer 1 predicts auxiliary outcomes (breakeven, duration, ROI) and a Layer 2 meta-learner makes final trade decisions — delivering a statistically validated 68% win rate sustained across 18 months of live trading.

Risk Engineering
Zero Risk After TP1

Reactive State Machine Execution

Client: Multi-strategy hedge fund

Designed a reactive state machine that dynamically manages trade lifecycle and mathematically truncates capital-at-risk to zero after the first target is hit — eliminating tail risk on winning positions without sacrificing upside potential.

Regime Detection
8.2% vs 34%

Surviving the March 2020 Regime Break

Client: Global Tier-1 Investment Bank

Deployed a Hidden Markov Model that detected the COVID volatility regime within 48 hours and automatically reduced position sizing — limiting max drawdown to 8.2% while static-parameter systems suffered 34%. This preserved 75% of the capital that conventional approaches lost.

Oxford-Trained Rigour

Postgraduate research in complex systems modelling at the University of Oxford. Every engagement grounded in first-principles mathematics, then stress-tested against production reality.

15+ Years Across Prop Desks & Hedge Funds

Built and operated production trading systems handling high-throughput market data under strict latency constraints. Regulated environments where a single bug can trigger a compliance incident.

Zero Lock-In, Full Ownership

Every engagement begins with a paid diagnostic phase. You see measurable results before committing further. Complete knowledge transfer, documentation, and training included.
