# Low-latency trading systems and time-series analytics, built by people who have run them

A boutique engineering firm built on a small number of deeply experienced specialists in trading systems and market data, delivered at a velocity that used to require a far larger team.

## Domain depth first. AI is the accelerant, not the headline.

We build the low-latency trading, risk, and time-series systems that capital-markets firms depend on. Our people have spent careers inside brokerages and exchanges, building trade capture, matching, risk, and tick-data systems first-hand, so we understand the problem before a line of code is written. Every engagement is staffed by senior engineers who own the code: no bench, no hand-offs, no junior layer learning on your project.

## Three ways we engage

- Capital-markets engineering: low-latency trading infrastructure, time-series and tick-data platforms, and real-time trading risk built to a broker's exact operating model.
- AI Acceleration Program: an agentic software development lifecycle under senior-engineer oversight at every gate.
- Agentic brokerage infrastructure: copy-trading, message-transport capture, and execution systems engineered for auditability and extreme activity spikes.

## Selected work

- [Trading platform modernization](https://sumantic.ai/work/trading-platform-modernization/) (Multi-asset brokerage, Delivered): A proprietary multi-asset platform built from the ground up at roughly a third of the traditional five-year cost of ownership.
- [OPRA data capture and storage](https://sumantic.ai/work/opra-data-capture-and-storage/) (Options market data, Delivered): One of the industry's most demanding time-series workloads: 500GB+ captured per trading day, available within 90 minutes of session close.
- [Copy-trading platform](https://sumantic.ai/work/copy-trading-platform/) (US futures broker, Active engagement): A bespoke copy-trading system engineered to absorb extreme activity spikes while preserving immutable, fully auditable trade trails.
- [Low-latency trading risk management](https://sumantic.ai/work/low-latency-trading-risk/) (Global CFD broker, Active engagement): Real-time risk and PnL observability replacing manual procedures, with order-flow segmentation that surfaces hidden revenue leakage.

## The team

Leadership pairs two complementary careers, described by credential rather than name. One founder built a kdb+/q consultancy later acquired by private equity, was on the founding team of a major capital-markets software firm, and is among the foremost kdb+/q practitioners, with deep OTC trading-risk and real-time analytics experience. The other is a 23-year broker-technology leader who was CTO of a major retail broker, scaling a roughly 500-person technology organization through a five-fold revenue period, a NYSE IPO, and the move from FX-only to multi-asset CFD, and who launched a multi-asset trading platform from scratch in about 18 months at a Jefferies-owned brokerage.
