I'm looking at low cost/fee index funds as well (I strongly agree with you that I don't want an active trading strategy for my retirement account). Have you looked at things like Motif Investing? I'm torn on whether I want to create a sector-balanced Vanguard-style index, or just invest in an existing index.

silly question, but why do your LinkedIn and Github say you work at a generic "Financial Industry Company" rather than Jump? especially since Jump is quite prominent.

I'm assuming you mean nanoseconds?

Yes, but people roll their eyes when you say that even if it is true.

Fair enough. If you're not in the nanos what is the point of even bothering with FPGAs and all the pain involved? CPUs can handle single digit micros just fine.

Agreed, if you're ever in Chicago look me up. Would be fun to grab beers with like minded techies (and that goes for anyone really).

Definitely - not there very often but will keep in mind!
