Freddy Diengott

Software Engineer

I'm a curious , design-focused , auto-didactic, full-stack software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY! I'm currently a UI engineer at Adaptive Financial where I'm building a real-time finance platform built on top of a web-socket connected, highly secure, fast, distributed system where the UI is made with TypeScript, React, RxJS, Material UI, TanStack's React Table, React Query, React Hook Form, and some other goodies. I'm passionate about writing loosely coupled, maintainable, performant code, with an emphasis on intuitive design and accessibility.

After starting at Adaptive, I've seen myself grow as a full-stack engineer, as I've spent a serious amount of time reading java code, researching design patterns, learning the advantages and security concerns of cloud technologies, and discovering the ins and outs of distributed systems that handle lots of data.

The past year and a half, I've discovered that I find finance and economics (especially geo-macro) surprisingly utterly fascinating! I had worked in fintech for several years, but I hadn't taken the domain seriously. That has since changed and I've been voraciously reading books, articles, writing blog posts, and attending (and hosting!) events that are specifically financial in nature. Underlying all of this, is a goal I hold close: to build a deep and accurate model of the world. One way I've decided to do this is to chronicle the books I read in a blog post and write other pieces on what I've learned. I hope the blog will start to fill up with articles about how financial markets work and how it affects peoples around the world. I am not under the impression that anyone will read these pieces, but by making them publicly accessible, I hope to motivate myself to write; to understand how I think. I've never been someone who writes very much, but I think it's a great fountain from which insight into one's own thinking can flow, through mulling over ideas and making them concrete.

So feel free to reach out. And stay tuned!
