cppforquants.com is a website about quantitative finance and C++ with a global reach.
The goal is simple: take concepts that are often presented either too theoretically or too superficially and turn them into practical, technically rigorous explanations.
Topics include:
- C++ for quantitative finance
- Derivatives pricing and risk
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Option Greeks
- Counterparty credit risk and XVA
- Market risk
- Quantitative data engineering
- Machine learning for finance
- Quant system architecture
- Performance and numerical computing
Articles frequently start with a financial concept, derive the important mathematics, implement it in C++, and then examine how the idea might fit into a real quantitative system.
Who is Behind cppforquants.com?
cppforquants.com is written by a technical lead with extensive experience in software and machine-learning for quantitative finance, currently working in in London.
My professional background spans quantitative risk, financial markets, machine learning, distributed systems, and production software engineering. Much of my current work sits at the intersection of AI/ML and quantitative finance, including areas such as counterparty credit risk, market risk, derivatives, explainability, and large-scale financial data.
I have spent much of my career building production systems rather than purely academic models. That perspective shapes the articles on this site: the objective is not only to explain the mathematics, but also to understand how quantitative ideas translate into software.
