Experience

**** – 2013 Trading / Qatar

Competently trading family’s money. Refining the trading system

2010 – 2012 Independently prototyped a systematic trading platform in C++ and Qt / Greece

The platform features multi-threading, GUI, TCP/IP API and data persistence. The algorithms process financial time series

and seek for trends. Throughout this project I gained extensive & profound on the job knowledge and experience in

developing trading systems, in managing risks and in back-testing trading strategies
