Backend Strat builds financial software and trading systems.
We work at the intersection of software engineering and quantitative finance — building fintech products for businesses, and automated trading systems for traders.
What we do
Backend Strat works with two kinds of clients: businesses that need a financial product built — payments, crypto, DeFi, wallets, dashboards — and traders who want their strategy turned into automated, tested software.
In both cases, the approach is the same: understand the requirement precisely, build it as reliable software, and evaluate it honestly before it goes into production or into the market.

How we approach the work.
Engineering-first
We treat financial software the way it deserves to be treated: precisely specified, well-tested, and built to be maintained.
Evidence over hype
Automated trading systems are judged on formalized rules and historical testing — not promises about future returns.
Clarity about risk
We're direct about what backtesting can and can't tell you, and about the risks inherent in trading and financial software.
A predictable process, from first conversation to delivery.
Discovery
We learn your business, your users, or your trading strategy in enough detail to scope the work accurately.
Proposal & Scope
You receive a clear scope of work, timeline, and estimate before any development begins.
Build & Test
Development proceeds in reviewable milestones, with testing built into every stage rather than left until the end.
Delivery
For trading systems, this includes a full backtest report. For fintech products, staged deployment and handover.
Support & Iteration
Post-launch support and ongoing refinement are available as your product or strategy evolves.
Built for teams working in and around finance.
Standards we hold ourselves to on every project.
Version-controlled development
All code is developed under version control with a reviewable history, not shipped from a single machine.
Separated environments
Development, staging, and production environments are kept separate to reduce the risk of untested changes reaching a live system.
Careful credential handling
API keys, broker credentials, and secrets are handled deliberately and never hard-coded into shared source.
Testing before deployment
Trading logic is backtested and fintech features are tested before being proposed for production use.
Confidentiality by default
Project details and strategy logic are treated as confidential; NDAs are available on request.
