Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolConrad Parker is an algorithmic trader and seasoned software engineer with 20 years of experience building ultra low-latency trading systems, FPGA-C++ integrations, and functional Haskell trading stacks. He combines deep systems expertise—GPU/CUDA, WebGL, Linux multimedia drivers and AV codecs—with leadership in forming and mentoring high-performance developer teams. His career spans market-making, machine learning for fraud and credit risk, and building real-time streaming and 3D engines, reflecting a rare breadth from device drivers to high-level reactive systems. An active open-source contributor and conference speaker, he has improved low-level Haskell networking libraries and helped shape web media standards through W3C and Annodex work. Based in Sydney, he’s as comfortable optimizing microsecond latencies and FPGA correctness proofs as he is designing scalable feature stores and observability for production ML systems.
