2025 | Systematic Trading Pipeline Design

Architecture review and refactor plan for a buy-side trading pipeline providing OTC signals to institutional customers.

The engagement focused on the analysis of an existing production pipeline that had reached scalability and operational limits. The work covered the full trading lifecycle, from market data ingestion and model deployment to portfolio construction, portfolio risk management, order execution, monitoring, and daily operations.

The objective was to identify structural bottlenecks, clarify system responsibilities, and define a cleaner architecture capable of supporting larger volumes, more robust operations, and future model deployment needs.
