Ted Wu

I started out as a software engineer and worked my way up to become the Chief Information Officer of a prominent hedge fund. During my 12 years there, I created the software architecture and platform that allow the firm to grow from $300 million assets under management to over $12 billion. I have designed numerous mission-critical systems that solve business problems, and are proven to run reliably in production environments. Now I am providing the same professional services from the comfort of my home, without the chatter of the trading desk in the background.

I have remained hands-on throughout my career and can work in a variety of roles, from working with the business side to provide tech leadership. architecting distributed systems, to hands-on development. I focus on the end result and will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Here are the areas that I have experience with:

• Backend business logic, API design, distributed systems
• Cloud services, containers, DevOps, CI/CD
• Realtime data processing, realtime messaging, pub/sub, CEP engine
• Databases (SQL and Time Series DB), data analysis, data visualization
• Artificial intelligence, machine learning (area of significant interest)
• Frontend technologies (Management only, no recent hands-on experience)
