Hi, I'm Jose Acosta

I build quantitative systems and data pipelines for environments where bad data and latency have real financial consequences.

My background is a unique hybrid: six years leading large-scale construction projects taught me how complex systems fail and how to design them with a "zero-failure" mindset. Over the last 8 years, I've translated that exact mental model into the financial markets as an Algorithmic Trader and Quant Developer.

I build automated investment systems, real-time market data pipelines, and trading bots where latency, data integrity, and risk management aren't just SLA metrics they are the difference between a profitable trade and a blown account.

Today I focus on financial data engineering and quantitative development with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and ownership. Broken assumptions, API disconnects, and silent failures are treated as severe execution risks, not technical inconveniences.


How I work

  • Build algorithmic pipelines aligned to market execution and business logic, not just data movement
  • Treat data quality, latency, and silent failures as critical system-level risks
  • Prefer agile, observable architectures (containerized, API-driven) over fragile, bloated complexity
  • Embed strict risk management, drawdown protection, and explicit failure scenarios directly into the code

Core technical focus

Area Stack
Languages Python, C# (NinjaScript), SQL, Pine Script
Data & Quant Pandas, NumPy, Vectorbt, SARIMA, Time-Series Analysis
Infrastructure Docker, Git, REST APIs, WebSockets, Cloud VPS
Storage PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB
Domain Algorithmic Trading, Prop Firms, Market Data, Risk Systems

Selected projects

Proprietary Algorithmic Trading Systems End-to-end development of production-ready trading bots. Translated complex trend-following and momentum logic into automated C# (NinjaTrader) and Python systems, incorporating dynamic risk management (ATR-based trailing stops) and strict daily drawdown limits tailored for prop firm evaluations.

Real-Time Market Data Pipelines Dockerized workflows for ingesting high-volatility tick data via exchange APIs (Binance, Tradovate). The systems process live feeds using Python/Pandas and apply predictive models (such as SARIMA and Vectorbt backtesting) to generate low-latency trading signals.

SEC EDGAR Parsers (10-K / filings) Tools to extract and normalize unstructured regulatory financial filings into analytics-ready datasets, with a focus on correctness, reproducibility, and schema consistency for fundamental quantitative research.


Currently

Focused on remote Quant Developer, Technical PM (FinTech), and Financial Data roles where market logic, precision, and data integrity actually matter.
