CI & Agent Reliability for Financial Systems · Quant Trading Infrastructure

I build systems that turn CI failures, AI agent actions, and financial data into auditable evidence, bounded automation, and decision-ready controls.

About

An auditor's instincts, applied to engineering

I come from accounting and compliance-oriented work: tax administration, SAP system support, and regulated workflows where every record has to hold up to review. I now build software with the same instincts: explicit controls, separation of duties, and evidence you can audit.

My public work applies that lens to three areas: keeping CI pipelines and AI coding agents inside bounded, reviewable automation; building financial data and decision systems that fail closed; and quant research infrastructure that rejects leakage and overfitting before capital is at risk.

Technology Risk Lens

01 Fail closed

Automation defaults to reject or escalate. Nothing is approved silently.

02 Evidence over claims

Every run leaves an append-only, replayable audit trail.

03 Separation of duties

The component that evaluates a change is never the one that approves it.

04 Honest scope

Each repository states what is implemented, what is simulated, and what is out of scope.

What I Build

Three pillars, one control mindset

Pillar 01

CI & Agent Reliability

Diagnose CI failures, bound autonomous repair, and govern AI agent actions with policy gates, human escalation, and audit logs.

Core Specialty

Quant Trading Infrastructure

Point-in-time data, purged walk-forward validation, cost-aware backtests, and execution controls, backed by freelance multi-exchange work since 2021.

Skills

Capabilities across code, controls, and markets

CI & Agent Reliability

GitHub Actions, CI/CD failure triage, policy gates, retry budgets, audit logging

Automation that stays bounded, reviewable, and reversible.

Financial Systems & Tech Risk

Internal controls, segregation of duties, FinOps (FOCUS), data quality, DCF analysis

Financial workflows designed to survive audit, not just produce numbers.

Quant & Data

Walk-forward validation, cost-aware backtesting, time-series analysis, risk metrics

Sharpe, VaR, Expected Shortfall, and drawdown treated as evidence, not marketing.

Engineering Stack

Python, Go, TypeScript, SQL, FastAPI, Docker, Linux

Event-driven services, APIs, and tooling that run the same locally and in CI.

Next Layer

Review the evidence behind each system.

Every project lists the problem, how the system works, and what you can verify in the repository.
