About Mike McCarty
In 2017, Mike McCarty reverse-engineered the latency bottlenecks in a major crypto exchange’s WebSocket API, then built a stateless order-routing layer that cut execution time by 42% without modifying their infrastructure. That work became the foundation for three institutional-grade arbitrage bots now running across Binance, Bybit, and Kraken, each handling over $2.3B in monthly notional volume. Unlike most trading bot developers who prioritize speed over resilience, Mike insists on 'failure-first architecture': every system he ships includes automated circuit breakers triggered by microsecond-level drift in tick coherence or unexpected order-book fragmentation. He’s contributed production patches to CCXT and authored the widely cited 'Time-Consistent Order Book Reconstruction' whitepaper, which redefined how low-latency systems handle asynchronous market data feeds. His code appears in live production at two hedge funds and one Tier-1 market maker, but you won’t find his name in press releases. He prefers debugging race conditions at 3 a.m. over keynote speeches.
