My team and I are commercializing commission-free US stock trading. We do so by providing a simple REST Trading API and free real-time market data to developers domestically and internationally. We have helped big banks and trading firms to home-brew quants algo traders to software developers. If you're a fintech founder or CEO/CTO building something new in the world of investing, I'm happy to chat and brainstorm with you.
Prior to Alpaca's founding in 2015, I had worked in a variety of positions in the world of derivatives, securitization, forex, and more. I then went on to build a tech development firm helping process data for companies ranging from big pharma to heavy logistics to tech giants in Japan.
