Infrastructure

The core architecture began running regularly in February 2026 and is designed around modular services, durable data capture, and strategy-level risk controls.

Producer-consumer architecture

Complete historical record

Founder Story

Built from market curiosity into production infrastructure.

Whirlwind came out of a long-running focus on derivatives, market making, probability, and prediction-market inefficiencies.

2018-2024

Trading foundation

Years of work across derivatives, options, relative value, trading competitions, finance coursework, and quantitative finance communities.

Late 2024

Prediction-market opportunity

Kalshi activity revealed repeatable systematic opportunities, leading to the formation of Whirlwind Trading and commitment to the space.

2025-2026

From model to platform

A hand-traded inefficiency became a modeled, containerized system capable of operating across hundreds of markets simultaneously.

Now

Acquisition-ready IP

The best fit is likely a sophisticated prediction-market participant, market-structure trader, or systematic trading operator.
