About

After 20 years building high-frequency trading platforms for Tier-1 banks and hedge funds, I noticed a recurring pattern of failure. It was not that these firms lacked brilliant engineers. It was that they lacked Structural Governance—the architectural authority to align engineering decisions with commercial reality. I founded HFT Advisory to solve this specific gap.
