Mike Stankavich

Infrastructure engineer specializing in trading systems, blockchain operations, and cloud platforms.

I build and operate the infrastructure that keeps trading systems running and blockchain networks online. Currently consulting for a systematic FX trading firm (10-year engagement) and building TrakRF, an IoT data platform for RFID asset tracking.

What I work on

  • Trading infrastructure — Private cloud automation, low-latency networking, and deployment pipelines for systematic trading platforms
  • Blockchain node operations — Ran 200+ production Horizen nodes on bare metal for 6 years as a profitable business (NodeLauncher)
  • Cloud platforms — Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD across AWS, GCP, and bare metal
  • AI-native development — Built the Claude Spec Workflow, a structured process for agentic AI coding with Claude Code

Current focus

  • IoT data platform development (Go, TimescaleDB, MQTT, React) at TrakRF — platform source (BSL licensed)
  • Infrastructure consulting for financial services
  • Web BLE testing tooling — bridging real BLE hardware to headless test environments (ble-mcp-test)
