02 / 07 What this covers

Market data, order books, charting, and the infrastructure around a trading workflow

This covers the systems traders actually depend on: ingesting and normalising market data, storing time series so it can be queried quickly, reconstructing and displaying order books, charting at speed, and the risk and reporting tooling around a strategy.

Typical scope

Data ingestion, time-series storage, order book reconstruction, charting, and risk tooling

That can mean a market data pipeline, a backtesting or research harness, a charting or instrument panel, integration with a broker or venue API, or the reporting and risk layer that turns a strategy into something operable.

Why it matters

Domain knowledge is the part that cannot be picked up mid-project

Equities, futures, forex, and bonds each carry their own conventions, and market microstructure decides what a system must get right. Fourteen years on the trading side means those requirements arrive already understood rather than discovered late.

03 / 07 Supporting stack

Time-series stores, low-latency paths, and protocol work chosen for market workloads

Market data is a demanding workload: bursty, ordered, unforgiving about gaps, and usually far larger than it first appears. The storage, caching, and transport choices reflect that rather than a generic web stack.

  • FIX Protocol
  • Order Books
  • Market Data
  • Time Series
  • Risk Management
  • Low Latency

05 / 07 The full range

Thirteen services, one engineer

Most projects cross more than one of these. They are listed separately because they are bought separately, not because they are delivered in isolation.

Building something that touches markets?

If the work involves market data, order books, charting, backtesting, or venue integration, the domain will not need explaining first.
