Product Leadership & R&D

A systematic value investing platform that values 60,000+ companies a day over a 5 TB+ database.

The problem

Methodically and systematically valuing every company in the market at once, with daily recomputation on price changes plus quarterly/annual reports, without the system buckling.

Stack decision

Re-architecting the stack from MySQL to PostgreSQL and from Pandas to Polars to make real-time computation viable; billion-row tables with a partitioning scheme to optimize queries.

The technical challenge

Designing a generic data module that generalizes to any asset type and its edge cases (different markets, reporting frequencies) over a 5 TB+ database.

Impact

Real-time daily valuation of 60,000+ companies on a dedicated server with 300+ GB of RAM and 10+ TB of disk. The backbone of Baboon Technologies’ investment fund.

The first crowd-counting system homologated by the Spanish Metrology Center, with >99% accuracy and real-time multi-camera fusion.

The problem

Certifiably accurate crowd counting in massive venues (trade fairs, casinos, street festivals), where a single camera can’t cover wide entrances and overlap between cameras causes double counting.

Stack decision

Python prototype (YOLOv2 + a custom tracking algorithm) rewritten in C++ with CUDA to scale performance; multithreading to process many cameras on a single GPU.

The technical challenge

Fusing and synchronizing up to 12 aligned cameras in real time into a single view where analytics run, with fine overlap configuration so the same person is never counted twice.

Impact

Over 99% accuracy homologated by the Spanish Metrology Center — the first certified counting system. Robust with up to 200 people under a single camera (San Fermín festival).

An edge device (NUC/Raspberry) in each club that streams, records and uploads video, orchestrated over VPN.

The problem

Efficiently live-streaming and recording each club’s video, uploading it to the platform and knowing what every NUC should do at any moment.

The technical challenge

Building the VPN architecture (OpenVPN → WireGuard) and a centralized RTMPS server with NGINX to remotely monitor camera and process connectivity in each club.
