The trajectory

Full bio →
Julian Kumarakulasingam
Julian K. — 2025

Quantitative developer with 7+ years building high-performance trading systems for tier-1 investment banks — front-office tools, risk analytics and automated strategies.

A proven track record of systems that directly impact PnL, reduce operational risk and improve execution quality — across equity derivatives, commodities and fixed-income ETF market making.

Today I bring that rigor on-chain: writing Rust and Solidity, building DeFi trading systems and shipping open-source tooling. I optimize for correctness under pressure — if it touches capital, it has to be exact.
