Algorithmic Trading Engineer | Backtesting & Live Execution | Python

You have a trading strategy. Maybe it's live, maybe it's just a backtest, maybe it's a TradingView script you don't fully trust yet. The hard part was never the idea, it's making it run reliably when real money is on the line. That's what I do. I take trading strategies from concept → backtest → production execution, and I build the infrastructure that keeps them running. I don't sell alpha, signals, or "guaranteed returns." I'm the engineer who makes sure your system actually executes, accurately, every time, under live market conditions. What I build - Backtesting & research platforms with realistic fills, slippage, and fees, so your results survive contact with live markets - Live execution engines, async, fault-tolerant, built to recover instead of crash - Exchange & broker integrations over REST, WebSocket, and FIX - Real-time market data pipelines and order management systems - Monitoring, dashboards, and the production infrastructure that keeps it all alive Recent work - Built a NautilusTrader-based backtesting platform with a live performance dashboard - Audited and validated a multi-market algo system across NQ futures, forex, and commodities I hold a 100% Job Success Score with consistent 5-star reviews, and most projects turn into long-term work. Platforms & connectivity - Custom Python systems, NautilusTrader, QuantConnect/Lean, MetaTrader 5 (MQL5), NinjaTrader, and TradingView/PineScript, including converting TradingView scripts into real Python execution systems. - Exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Bitget. Brokers: Interactive Brokers, Zerodha, Dhan, Upstox. - Prediction markets: Polymarket, Kalshi. Whatever your edge, market making, arbitrage (CEX/DEX/cross-exchange), mean reversion, stat arb, options, or ML-driven, I've built and validated it in production. I implement and harden strategies; I don't claim to invent them. Background Before freelancing, I spent 8+ years building trading systems professionally, including a live market-making system trading BTC and ETH across Binance and OKX with ~12ms execution and Deribit options hedging, plus cross-exchange smart order routing for institutional OTC flow. I bring that same production rigor to every project here, whether it's your first bot or a fund's execution stack. If you want to automate a strategy, fix a backtest you don't trust, connect to an exchange or broker, or take an existing system into production, that's exactly what I do. Tell me what you're building.
