ZuluTrade
One of the world's leading social/copy trading platformsMember of the technical development team that implemented parts of the core copy-trading engine. We worked on real-time trade routing, MT4/MT5 broker integrations and microservices architecture upgrades so the system could scale to millions of users worldwide without performance loss during market peak hours.
The system enables millions of users worldwide to connect their investment accounts and automatically copy, in real time, the strategies and trades of experienced traders — handling enormous volumes of daily data.
