John Lazar
John has spent 25+ years building production software across finance, quantitative research, and crypto/DeFi engineering. He has led and delivered projects spanning strategy automation, backtesting, data pipelines, and AI/ML.
Credibility signals we can publicly verify include being listed as a Toptal trading software expert and having Stanford SCPD AI/ML teaching experience (course facilitation).
What we believe
- • If a strategy can't be explained trade-by-trade, it can't be trusted.
- • Specs prevent rework: clear rules first, then code.
- • Backtests must state assumptions (spread/slippage/fees) and show limitations.
- • AI/ML is optional — and must be validated responsibly.
