Distributed trading systems
Core C++ trading infrastructure, real-time market data, low-latency order pipelines. Years inside the engine room of a large European broker and a digital-asset exchange.
Davide Spataro
Head of Technology · Software engineer · Ph.D.
I lead engineering at Chintai, building trading systems and on-chain financial infrastructure. Previously a software engineer at flatexDEGIRO (Amsterdam) and ASML (Eindhoven). Ph.D. in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Calabria, with a thesis on parallel methods for many-core systems.
I write about the things I work on most — algorithmic interviews, distributed systems, parallel computing.
What I work on
Blockchain & DeFi
Smart contracts, on-chain orderbooks, automated market makers, cross-chain bridges. EOS, Solana, EVMs. Production systems handling billions in volume.
HPC & parallel computing
PhD-grade work on GPGPU, CUDA, OpenCL, MPI. From semiconductor metrology code at ASML to multi-GPU rendering and exascale visualization research.
Technical writing
Long-form, hand-authored material on the topics I work on most — algorithmic interviews, systems engineering, the craft of writing real production code.
Writing & projects
A long-form book
Coding Interview Essentials
A long-form, editorial field guide to algorithmic interviews — every problem solved, narrated, and pattern-named the way you'll deliver it on the day. Hand-authored, no AI generation, free to read.
