The People Building Gixodia

Daniel founded Gixodia in 2018 after fifteen years as a senior quant on the systematic macro desk of a tier-1 global investment bank. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics with a focus on stochastic volatility modeling and spent the early 2010s leading research into market-microstructure alpha signals for XAUUSD and G10 FX pairs. At Gixodia he sets the long-term research agenda and personally reviews every strategy parameter that ships into production.

Elena leads the engineering team responsible for the execution core that drives GIX-GOLD and GIX-EURO. Twelve years in low-latency trading systems — including six at a Chicago-based HFT firm — give her a rare grasp of what it takes to turn a research signal into a sub-50ms order. She holds a BS in Computer Science from MIT and is a maintainer on two open-source networking libraries.

Marcus oversees all things risk at Gixodia. Before joining in 2020, he spent eighteen years in market-risk roles at major derivatives exchanges, most recently helping size margin models for one of the largest listed futures venues in the world. Every YMYL claim on the Gixodia website and every performance statistic in our blog posts passes across his desk before publication. CFA charterholder and FRM-certified.

Sofia runs the Gixodia support and onboarding organization. Ten years leading fintech customer-success teams across Europe have taught her how to turn a complex institutional-grade product into something an individual trader can deploy confidently in an afternoon. She speaks five languages and personally trains every new support engineer on our de-escalation and safety playbook.
