About

Innovating at the intersection of technology and finance for over 20 years. As the founder of Sidepit, I’m on a mission to redefine decentralized finance with fair, transparent markets that eliminate execution risks and empower traders of all sizes. My journey began at Bloomberg LP, where I honed my skills in financial systems and data. Over the years, I’ve worked with industry leaders like Fortress Investment Group and VMware, delivering scalable trading systems and blockchain solutions. I specialize in C++, trading systems, and blockchain, with a passion for tackling complex challenges and building robust, open protocols that push the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech. Sidepit represents the culmination of my experience, combining innovation, integrity, and transparency to create a platform that transforms how financial markets operate. Let’s connect and discuss how technology can shape the future of finance. jaybny.com
