I'm a software engineer based in New York, with experience spanning from low-level systems programming to fullstack development of web apps. My background includes:
- Building infrastructure in Rust and C++ at Meta
- Developing low-latency order routing systems using C++ at TastyTrade
- Developing mission-critical financial systems using TypeScript as a founding engineer at a fintech startup
There's probably something we would both enjoy talking about, so shoot me an email at putnam.lucien@gmail.com or click a date and time below.
Key Experience
Full-Stack Development
Built modern web applications using React, TypeScript, and Node.js. Developed a comprehensive capital call module that has processed hundreds of millions in transactions, combining robust frontend interfaces with complex backend logic.
Systems Engineering
Responsible for one of the initial Rust projects at Meta, testing using Rust to write a core-infrastructure component for profiling a reverse proxy. Separately, I wrote a service for scheduling jobs within a massive asynchronous worker machine pool, which improved metric collection and job scheduling for nearly 100k machines in the worker pool. At TastyTrade, I developed and maintained an advanced, low-latency C++ order routing system, which supported brokerage orders to existing liquidity providers, and I handled onboarding with 3 new liquidity providers and one new implementation of an SBE protocol for iLink3.
