Abdullah Shareef

I'm a hacker, quant trader, and builder. Currently CTO at scalarFX where we are building FX infrastructure on-chain.

Before this I was a trader at a top quant trading firm for the last five years. I managed my own book with personally attributed PnL and traded with some of the smartest people in the world.

I'm a serial hackathon attender (and sometimes winner). Went to my first hackathon 12 years ago and it changed my life. I've been building ever since.

If you are interested in the intersection of trading and technology I'm open to chat.
