I take systems from idea to production — and run them. Real-time Go backends, autonomous trading engines, AI & RAG tooling, consumer products: designed, built, and operated end to end, often solo.

ProfileAbout Simon Busch, Senior Software Engineer

I take systems from idea to production — and keep them running.

Senior software engineer with 5+ years shipping products and systems end to end — high-performance backends, real-time data pipelines, AI tooling, and distributed infrastructure. Today I run my own trading firm as sole engineer: every system designed, built, deployed, and operated by one person, live in production 24/7.

Before going solo I led engineering at Recon and drove product as a technical owner at Code4rena — taking tools from concept to launch and building software now relied on by hundreds of engineers.

Prior to engineering, a decade leading international B2B sales teams of 10+ with $50M+ budgets — where I learned to ship outcomes, not just code.

RecordWork Experience

2025.05 — NOW

Founded and operate a proprietary trading firm as sole engineer across the full stack — designing low-latency systems and shipping autonomous trading products end to end.

  • Shipped a prediction-market trading system driven by a custom-built probabilistic pricing engine
  • Built a Solana sniping bot in Go — real-time token detection, sniping logic, and rug-pull detection via wallet clustering, executing through Jupiter DEX & Helius RPC
  • Developed a copy-trading terminal for tracking and mirroring on-chain strategies in real time
  • Architected low-latency Go execution engines — real-time ingestion, order execution, and risk monitoring on Hyperliquid & Binance — with air-gapped key storage for all live assets

Recon.xyz

Lead Software Engineer & Fuzzing Engineer

Led engineering for a blockchain-security firm delivering fuzzing infrastructure and tooling for high-profile DeFi protocols.

  • Smart-contract fuzzing audits for high-value DeFi clients — invariant definition & property-based testing with Foundry, Echidna, Medusa
  • Built an automated security tooling suite — log parsers for fuzzing frameworks, ABI parsers, CI/CD-integrated audit pipelines
  • Redesigned the CI/CD pipeline, cutting Docker build times by 80%
  • Re-architected the frontend, improving page-load performance by 60%

Code4rena

Fullstack Engineer & Technical Product Owner

Drove product development for a leading Web3 competitive security-auditing platform.

  • Pioneered a complexity oracle for automated project scoping, reducing manual estimation time by 75%
  • Built a Chrome extension for contest judging — adapting the GitHub UI with a custom action layer — adopted by 500+ users for an 80% productivity gain
  • Designed a user-management system improving authentication security and role-assignment workflows
  • Engineered payout-distribution algorithms ensuring accurate compensation for thousands of auditors across competitions

IndexProjects & Open-Source Tooling

01

Hyperblitz

End-to-end autonomous trading system — a custom algorithm trained on limit-order-book data executes live with no human in the loop. Designed, built, and operated solo, 24/7.
