MIFX
Trading platform & infrastructure modernization
Modernizing a trading platform and the systems behind its day-to-day operations.
Visit websiteThe problem
MIFX needed to continue developing its trading application and business systems while reducing the cost and complexity of running separately managed infrastructure.
My role and contribution
As CTO, I led the technology direction and contributed directly to the mobile trading application, business systems and infrastructure modernization. My engineering work included delivery automation and infrastructure management, alongside responsibility for incident response and follow-up reviews.
Key technical decisions
Match server capacity to demand
Legacy applications ran as separate processes on virtual machines. Moving them to shared container orchestration enabled demand-based autoscaling and centralized management.
Make application delivery repeatable
Automated pipelines provided a repeatable build, test and deployment workflow for trading applications and business systems. Infrastructure as code brought infrastructure management into the same engineering practice.
Turn incident findings into reliability improvements
Incident response was followed by technical postmortems, documenting findings to guide reliability improvements.
Implementation and operations
- Developed a mobile trading application for commodity and forex markets.
- Developed and maintained business management systems and infrastructure across multiple regions.
- Built automated workflows for application delivery and infrastructure management.
- Managed operational incidents and documented findings to guide improvements.
