Profile: https://flows.cv/andrevega

Full stack engineer with expertise in Python, Rust, C#, JavaScript, and React. I specialize in developing fast and reliable trading platforms utilizing serverless architecture. My work includes creating next-gen trading interfaces, implementing efficient serverless deployments, enhancing API layers, and transitioning off-chain functions to on-chain contracts. Additionally, I have experience building tools for viewing and measuring geographical and CAD data, optimizing image conversions, and integrating advanced viewing capabilities.

## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Hxro
Jan 2019 – Jan 2024
I developed and shipped a next-gen trading interface using React and Redux, handling $2 million/day in volume. I implemented serverless deployments with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and Step Functions, saving significant time and cost. I collaborated to enhance quote frequency by 200%, reduced API layer processing time to 15 seconds, and transitioned off-chain functions to on-chain contracts in Rust. Additionally, I led the development of critical services and streamlined the production pipeline with Jira, Notion, and Lucidchart.

### Software Engineer Intern @ uGRIDD
Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | Chicago
uPANO is an online tool for viewing and measuring geographical and CAD data. I built a native library using openCV to convert 2D spherical images to cubemaps 13 times faster and employed linear algebra for pixel transformation. Additionally, I designed and developed a TypeScript library with THREE.js to read and view CAD files and integrated an orthographic section view for measuring CAD and point cloud data.

### Software Development Intern @ EESAT
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Chicago, IL
As a SoftWare Development Intern, I used C# and XAML to develop engaging option trading data analytics. Using the telerik framework, I designed real-time data charts that market traders can interact with to visualize the option market information. Other projects include using C# to build server/client API for Complex Order Book (COB).
