A motivated and efficient programmer based in London. Though most of my Bsc/Msc required Java, Python is the language I have the most experience in a real production environment. My most recent focused interests are HFT (high-frequency trading) and LFT (low-frequency trading by analysis long-term market trends) in Python for online virtual trading platforms. In general, I enjoy developing tools that optimize programmer procedures, by developing more efficient mechanisms for maintaining the high standard of productivity across a team and reducing to a minimum all types of repetitive, error-prone tasks, that undermine every programmers's motivation and thus, their true potential. I love to be exposed to new languages and paradigms and try to stay on the edge of the industry by self-learning on a daily basis. Besides the projects listed in this page, don't forget to also check my Github and Bitbucket for other contributions. (LFT/HFT experiments are not documented in my public repos until the targeted online platforms are discontinued, but can be discussed on request) https://github.com/metabrain https://bitbucket.org/metabrain

Java Developer @ Java backend developer for a high-performance platform for financial markets. From May 2015 to Present (6 months) London, United KingdomSoftware Developer @ Programmer part of the front-end team for the integration of Geneity's desktop and mobile cross-browser sports betting platform "Sportsbook". In the UK, Titanbet (sports.titanbet.co.uk / m.titanbet.co.uk) represents one of the clients. In practice, more of a full-stack developer, requiring working on the Python-based back-end and the ORACLE/MySQL for databases on a regular basis. Additionally, highly proficient in Git and Atalassian JIRA. Front-end code is developed using jQuery (OO-style, async AJAX), CSS3 and HTML5 in order to deliver the best possible experience across most desktops (Webkit based, Firefox and IE8+) and smartphones (iOS and Android 2.4+). Notable achievements: - 2014 Q1 - Helped development of the Ladbrokes Belgium (sports.ladbrokes.be) sportsbook, both with styling and the integration of the new PMU (French Horse Racing) real-time sportsbook betting mechanism for the desktop website, including new fully dynamic jQuery-powered PMU betting pages updated in real-time. - 2014 Q2 - Full styling of the new sportsbook mobile website for the leading international Italy-based sports newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sports" (m.gazzabet.it) according to client-provided Photoshop mockups. - 2014 Q4 - Full styling for the new mobile sportsbook for Sportium (m.sportium.es) according to customer specifications (soon to go live) - 2014 Q4 - Complete factorization of all of the front-end code to use the full potential of SASS/SCSS with a Makefile system for rapid and efficient deployment across clients, allowing production and styling of new mobile sportsbook sites according to the customers specification in a fraction of the time. - 2015 Q1 - Development of an innovative spritesheet decompiler and compiler (Python and ImageMagick, resulting in SASS/SCSS metadata) bringing down the time required for changing the majority of the icons for a client to mere seconds and eliminating the previous lenghty, repetitive and very error-prone process.
