Hello! I'm a software developer and former trader with 5 years experience working at top-tier
algorithmic-trading
firm Flow Traders.
I've been head of multiple desks, product owner of critical trading applications and a member of the Trader Tech
Team.
I specialised in designing, building and operating world-class higly-automated trading systems.
I strongly believe in the importance of continuous learning and I built this website both to demonstrate what I
know and as a learning project in itself to discover the wonders of web development.

Conway's Game of Life
Described as a "zero player game" by it's creator, mathematician John Conway,
the Game of Life composes of a grid of
cells, which are either dead or alive, and has a simple set of rules
which
decide whether each cell will be alive or dead in the next turn.
Conway invented the game as a demonstration that simple rules and the right starting conditions
can lead to chaotic and even self replicating systems.
As a mathematics undergrad I was fascinated by this concept. Checkout my sandbox
implementation here. You can play around with setting up your own patterns and seeing how the game
evolves, or choose from a dropdown list of amazing community discovered automata like the ones you see above.
