Software engineer
I’m Jawad Ali. I build trading platforms and mission-critical systems — software that people depend on, every day.
Currently Building fixed income trading software at SoftSolutions!
The story so far01 / Selected work
A selection of projects across finance,
defense, and everything I’m learning along the way.
Personal project / Fixed income
Making the bond market
easier to make sense of.
A full-stack analytics platform for bond pricing, portfolio risk, yield curves, and scenario analysis. Built to turn financial models into tools people can actually use.
Java 21 · Spring Boot · PostgreSQL · React · TypeScript
What is a future
cash flow worth today?
Present value = cash flow ÷ (1 + yield)period
Professional work
SoftSolutions!
Java desktop interfaces and backend services for fixed income trading. My focus: responsive screens, dependable pricing flows, and resolving the production issues that get in a trader’s way.
Java Swing · JavaFX · Spring Boot · Performance profiling
RFQ, pricing, quoting, and execution workflows become demanding under heavy market load. Small interface delays interrupt a trader’s work.
UI enhancements, performance profiling, production debugging, and backend services for trading and market-data processing. I work with QA and product teams to validate changes and keep releases stable.
Professional work
NESCOM
Ground control and mission planning for unmanned aerial, underwater, and surface vehicles. Real-time visualization, deployment, and training for the people operating the systems.
C# · WPF · JavaFX · SQL · Linux
Operators need clear, reliable interfaces to understand live telemetry and control unmanned vehicles during extended operations.
Ground control stations, mission planning tools, and threat visualization. My work extended beyond development to on-site deployments, operator training, technical documentation, and release packages under ISO/AS quality processes.
Academic project
A machine learning approach to real-time network intrusion detection — exploring the intersection of software engineering and network security.
Python · Machine learning · Network security
02 / A little about me
Different domains.
The same care.
I’ve worked on systems that move money and systems that move unmanned vehicles. Both taught me to pay attention to what happens after the code ships.
I’m a software engineer from Islamabad, now based in Bergamo. At SoftSolutions!, I work on enterprise fixed income trading platforms. Before that, I built ground control and mission planning software at NESCOM.
I enjoy the whole process: understanding the problem, making the interface useful, finding the bottleneck, and working with the people who use the result.
