I had a great time working together with Bastian on the market interface for Unicredit in 2008/09. We dwarfed the organisational development speed by far and delivered working, high performance software for the bank’s algorithmic trading projects and initiatives.

I’ve had the chance to work closely with Bastian on some mission critical / high-end / high-performance / low-latency computing projects. Bastian is an outstanding hard-working, versatile, conscientious, perseverant, hands-on developer. Two quotes come to my mind when thinking about him, one from Bruce Lee : “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.” and another one from H. Jackson Brown: “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.”
I have been fortunate enough to work with Bastian on many projects ranging from High-Frequency, Low latency and many others. His great leadership skills and technical ability allowed him to merge many different systems into one central point. G Singh
Bastian is one of the best guys in the algo trading business that I have met and worked with over my 20+ years in it. He’s the guy to engage if you have a mission critical project that really needs to get done and that needs to be 100% reliable and high performance. He is also one of the most trustworthy people I know. Last but not least he’s fun to work with.

It has been a pleasure working with Bastian at UniCredit over many years. He is very creative and forward-thinking person. I have worked with Bastian on numerous projects and issues in the bank, all related to electronic trading, financial markets and state of the art technology. He is an excellent programmer and knows how to code brilliant tools to simplify things.

I worked with Bastian at UniCredit’s ETF Market Making desk, and while our main focus was on trading ETFs, Bastian used his outstanding programming skills to develop tools that the whole team benefited from. In fact some of them were so great that they are still in use years after he left the bank. On top of this Bastian is very reliable and his work ethic is very commendable.
I had the pleasure to work with Bastian at FGS Capital for 2 years. He was in charge of the ETF desk. Bastian has outstanding programming skills and an impressively deep knowledge of the market. He was the most logical person and also very focused, what made him an incredible work colleague. In fact, we gave him the nickname of Mister Spock, because of his very logical and rational approach of every element of a trading system, which is the key to success.
