Mike Hukiewitz
Mike Hukiewitz builds pipelines, viz, and orchestration for products that learn from messy real-world data. Markets are a research lab, not a personality.
Selected work
Production systems with measurable outcomes — matchmaking, risk, portfolio optimization, market infrastructure, and decentralized compute.
Lead · AI matchmaking ATS
Built the full candidate↔job matchmaking system for Solana hiring: LLM profile/job normalization, pgvector embeddings, and a hybrid ranking model (role, domain, skills, seniority, prestige + GitHub signals) that shortlists into the ATS via Dagster.
Backend · Trading risk infrastructure
Owned mission-critical risk backends: TimescaleDB/Postgres market-data sync, Redis caching, ActiveMQ alerting, and durable storage for thousands of portfolios and orders. Built MCP tools for technical analysis.
Lead · Portfolio optimization
Led a team of five shipping an MPT-style crypto portfolio product: market-data ingestion on Postgres, React/Next.js with wallet adapters, and LLM chat for live users.
CTO · Hummingbot market making
Led an international team building Hummingbot trading systems and exchange connectors. Operated Dockerized AWS fleets for Bitcoin Runes MM and co-authored Gateway-v2 CLOB interfaces.
Also robotter.ai
Builder · On-chain DEX product
Shipped a Telegram trading bot for Magic Eden and OKX Bitcoin Runes DEX — swaps, multi-buys, orderbooks, and open orders. Ran a Bitcoin node and reverse-engineered incomplete DEX transaction formats for production integrations.
Builder · Privacy-preserving compute
Privacy-preserving compute-over-data for financial time series on Aleph Cloud — Pandas workloads, client-side aggregation, Solana metadata. Shipped wallet auth and the Active Record ODM storage layer.
Contributor · Core node & developer platform
Contributed to pyaleph core channel node (RabbitMQ job queues / P2P pub/sub): OpenAPI auto-generation, message-query endpoints, upload fixes, SDK verification-on-fetch. Hardened aleph-vm-scheduler and helped ship aleph-sdk-ts v1.
Builder · High-throughput DeFi indexing
Integrated Solana DeFi protocols into Aleph’s indexer framework with an automatic IDL parser and TypeScript code generator for program accounts/events. Fixed memory leaks in backpressure-prone sync pipelines.
