Pablo Prieto

Full-stack AI engineer with 10 years building financial software — from BNY Mellon Pershing to digital-asset, derivatives, and prediction-market data platforms at Lukka.

I take products from idea to production across React/Next.js frontends, AWS infrastructure, and Python/Kotlin backends — and I work AI-native every day with Claude Code and MCP-driven workflows.

# currently: building agentic dev workflows & watching too much Champions League

   • Led the full rebuild of Angular Insights into OneFi — a React/TypeScript platform unifying Insights and EDM behind one API Gateway with unified auth.
   • Designed organization-based entitlements with per-feature authorization for every client org and user.
   • Replaced a manually rotated shared JWT with a Lambda authorizer doing Okta OAuth token exchange across the Pricing and Reference Data APIs.
   • Directed Prediction Markets — real-time prices, volume and open interest across Polymarket, Kalshi and more, with AI-generated market updates.
   • Architected Insights from inception to production: data-dense AG Grid + WebSocket views over crypto-asset and derivatives datasets.
   • Built backend systems for a derivatives platform processing ~43B updates/mo.
   • Moved filtering off DynamoDB to OpenSearch, with index design tuned for sub-50ms filtered, sorted queries.
   • Built an AI dev pipeline: JIRA via MCP → git worktrees → parallel Claude Code → authenticated Playwright tests.
   • Coordinated 4 engineers on the OneFi migration; managed 3 on Insights.
