About David Carey

I solve complex business problems with technology. With 30+ years designing and building mission-critical systems for global markets, my career spans leadership roles at both industry giants (Morgan Stanley, ExxonMobil, CreditSuisse, Castleton Commodities, Fuji Capital Markets) and high-potential emerging companies (OpenTug, VAKT Global, FinTrack Systems), where I’ve directed global teams of technologists to deliver platforms powering trading, operations and finance across commodities, fixed income, and interest rate derivatives.My robust technology, organizational and cultural leadership skills support my performance as the main global link between technology and business - exhibiting deft, efficient project management across development, trading, sales, research, and back-office teams.My extensive development background includes experience across languages and database engines including Python, Perl, Java, Postgres, Redshift (AWS), Oracle, Sybase, DB2, and related packages and environments.
