Hi, I'm Edward.
Nice to meet you.

I previously worked as a Software Engineer at Nasdaq.

I previously worked as a Graduate Software Engineer at Optiver.

I use tools such as Python and Ansible, and have developed my stakeholder management skills significantly to ensure these projects are done on time.
