Where RocketEdge creates an edge.
The systems that move money, manage risk, and turn data into decisions.
Cloud Architecture & Optimization
Hardened, autoscaling AWS and Azure architectures with zero-trust controls and continuous cost guardrails — 25–60% cost reduction in weeks, not months.
Trading Systems & Backtesting
Idea → backtest → live in a single sprint. Sub-millisecond paths, reproducible research, deterministic risk checks, audit trails, and kill-switches.
Decision Intelligence
Unified store for positions, risk, and market signals with predictive analytics — cutting time-to-decision from days to minutes for the desk and the board.
Market Data Analytics
Low-latency multi-venue pipelines with normalization, factor engineering, and anomaly detection on one schema shared by research, backtest, and production.
Risk & Fraud Intelligence
Anomaly and fraud models calibrated to your patterns, with continuous monitoring, automated controls, and immutable audit trails wired into playbooks.
Enterprise Generative AI
Prompt to production-grade assistants and research summarization, built with access controls, evaluation harnesses, cost governance, and human handoff.
Four high-value engagements, each tied to a result.
Not generic “solutions.” Each offering maps to a business-critical problem — alpha generation, risk, cost, and product velocity — that moves AUM and profitability. Here is the kind of outcome each one delivers.
Cloud Cost Optimization for Trading Workloads
A fixed-scope diagnostic and re-architecture of your AWS/Azure trading and research estate — right-sizing, spot strategy, data-tiering, and continuous cost guardrails that hold after we leave.
Reduced a fund’s cloud expenses by ~30% while doubling backtest throughput — savings that paid for the engagement many times over.
AI Strategy & Model Development for Funds
From research notebook to live, governed signal: alpha research, feature engineering, model validation, and deployment with reproducible pipelines and deterministic risk checks.
Took a strategy from idea to live trading in a single sprint, with audit trails and kill-switches institutional allocators expect.
Trading Infrastructure & DevOps Modernization
Sub-millisecond execution paths, zero-trust controls, CI/CD, and SRE-style observability — replacing fragile, hand-managed stacks with production-grade, monitored systems.
Re-platformed a fund’s execution stack to < 1 ms hot-path latency with 24×7 monitoring and one-click, repeatable deploys.
AI/ML Advisory for FinTech Products
Senior architecture review and build guidance for fintech and AI-finance startups shipping data, GenAI, and decision-intelligence products — security, cost, and scale designed in from day one.
Helped a data-science firm ship a production-grade AI platform with enterprise security and cost governance, avoiding a costly re-build later.
A high-ROI partner, not a low-cost vendor.
Offshore outsourcing firms compete on cheap hourly labor. RocketEdge competes on specialized outcomes in the areas that decide your P&L — alpha, risk, latency, and cloud cost. Almost no offshore firm, and very few boutiques, can claim a published Wiley book on AI trading plus dual-cloud delivery plus CFA & FRM. Here is the difference you actually buy.
| RocketEdge — boutique fintech expert | Low-cost offshore outsourcers |
|---|---|
| Deep trading & AI domain expertise — wrote the book, runs it for real funds | General development skills, lacking finance specialization |
| Proven, ROI-focused results — cost savings, speed, and alpha improvements | Low hourly rates with no guaranteed outcomes |
| Single senior point of contact — 20+ years of experience, no handoffs | Junior, rotating teams; higher management overhead for the client |
| Trusted-partner mindset — invested in your long-term strategy | Transactional approach; little stake in your outcomes |
| Flexibility & personal dedication — tailored to your schedule and needs | Rigid, one-size-fits-all processes |
| Seamless integration with your team — contextual knowledge of your trading environment | Knowledge gaps about finance-specific requirements |
The math is simple: a ~30% cloud-cost reduction or a strategy that reaches production a sprint sooner is worth far more than a lower hourly rate. RocketEdge is priced as a high-impact partner because the work directly grows AUM and protects profitability — and it filters for clients who value quality and trust over bargain-hunting.
Led by Jiri Pik.
Jiri Pik is the founder and CEO of RocketEdge — a financial strategist and cloud software architect who has spent two decades building ultra-low-latency, distributed systems for trading, risk management, and market data at Citi, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and UBS.
He is the author of Hands-On AI Trading with Python, QuantConnect and AWS, and serves as Co-Chair of the Tech Transformation Resource Group at the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce, helping shape pragmatic digital strategy across industries.
Why this matters: most cloud consultancies have never traded, and most quant shops have never operated a regulated cloud estate. Financial rigor and platform engineering in the same brain is rare — and it’s why RocketEdge moves from idea to production faster than typical vendor cycles.
Built with trusted ecosystems that help solutions scale.
RocketEdge works within business and technology ecosystems that connect market needs, enterprise platforms, and practical transformation.

We optimize for advantage, not technology theater.
RocketEdge works best when the mandate requires senior judgment, hands-on architecture, and measurable business outcomes — design to deploy to monitor.
- Start with the strategic constraint, not the technology
- Design for operating reality: speed, security, cost, governance
- Build for production, not demos — APIs, observability, ownership
- Measure what compounds: adoption, cycle time, unit economics
- Keep humans accountable — AI accelerates, judgment decides
Financial rigor meets cloud-native execution.
A small, senior team at the intersection of AI, cloud, and trading — with institutional pedigree and published authorship.
