  • Ep. 11: Navigating UI and UX in Hedge Funds: Insights from Brian Lee
    May 6 2024

    Welcome back to the Hedgineer Podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of AI, data, and technology for hedge funds, asset managers, and prop trading. In this episode, we’re thrilled to have Brian Lee as our guest. Brian, a former colleague, is a true thought leader when it comes to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) in the hedge fund space.


    Brian’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From his early days at Citadel to his recent role as a senior engineer at Figma—a world-class UI development platform—he has honed his skills in creating intuitive tools and systems for portfolio managers and risk analysts. Figma, a powerhouse in the UI design realm, has provided Brian with a unique perspective on the interplay between UI/UX and asset management within hedge funds.


    Join us as Brian shares insights from his career journey, including his software engineering work at Intel, where he dived deep into C++ and the inner workings of compute systems. His passion for understanding fundamental system principles led him to explore web technologies and backend development during internships at unicorn companies.
