Nguyen Doan Cuong
Senior Backend Engineer & Algo Trading Developer
16 years of building — from enterprise systems at FPT Software to algorithmic trading bots and leading engineering teams
With over 15 years in software engineering, I've progressed from writing production code at FPT Software to architecting enterprise systems at NTQ Solution, and now designing cutting-edge algorithmic trading platforms. My focus has shifted from coding to system architecture, solution design, and technical leadership.
I specialize in software architecture — designing scalable, resilient systems that handle millions of requests. I define technical roadmaps, evaluate trade-offs between monolith vs microservices, choose the right infrastructure (AWS, Docker, CI/CD), and ensure systems are built for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
Beyond architecture, I bring deep domain expertise in algorithmic trading and quantitative finance. Combined with entrepreneurial experience from founding my own company, I solve problems at the intersection of business, technology, and strategy.
