My Stack

I work with these on a daily or almost daily basis:

  • Debian (previously Ubuntu)
  • Apache
  • MariaDb (and other db techs or, whenever possible, flat file storage)
  • PHP (I have built my own CMS and user management platform)
  • Python (mainly for data work and automation)
  • Git (I run own Gitea server)
  • OpenTofu and Ansible (for infrastructure as code and automation)

Finance

Previously (2006-2009) I worked as portfolio manager at Conseq Investment Management.

I have been active in the markets on almost daily basis for most of the last 20 years. I trade mainly US and European equities, options, and volatility derivatives (VIX and VSTOXX futures).

Macroption

Since 2012 I have run Macroption, a software provider, consultancy, and content website focusing on options, volatility, and quant finance. For more details about my background and how Macroption originated see its About page.
