Jordan Dimov

Founder of A115 Ltd | Senior Energy & Commodity Trading Software Engineer

"For over 20 years, I've built the software and the teams that run at the heart of the world's top energy and commodity trading firms. Now, I use this front-office experience to offer a service few others can: I close the gap between domain experts and software engineers, fast."

Jordan Dimov is the founder and Managing Director of A115 Ltd – a London-based consultancy specialising in high-performance software systems for energy and commodity trading firms. With decades of hands-on experience as a senior software engineer, technical architect and DevOps consultant, Jordan has become a trusted partner to major players across the energy, finance, logistics and AI sectors.

Domain Expertise in Energy and Commodity Trading Technology

Jordan has led the design and implementation of bespoke energy trading systems for leading firms such as Shell, Centrica and LimeJump. His expertise spans ETRM/CTRM integration, real-time data engineering, low-latency algorithmic trading infrastructure, and high-throughput ETL pipelines for gas, power, carbon, LNG and oil markets. Jordan has extensive experience working directly with front-office traders, quant researchers and market analysts to turn complex trading models and requirements into resilient, cloud-native software solutions.

In recent years, Jordan has delivered P&L and position visualisation platforms, auction automation tools for EPEX/N2EX day-ahead power trading, and market data processing systems for FX, weather, emissions and grid telemetry data – often achieving tangible business outcomes such as operational cost savings, reduced trading risk, and improved decision-making speed. His work has consistently demonstrated impact in mission-critical environments.

Technology Leadership and Clean Software Engineering

Jordan is a long-standing advocate of clean code, clean architecture and test-driven development. He brings deep expertise in Python (20+ years), PostgreSQL (15+ years), and cloud DevOps across AWS, Azure and GCP. His software engineering ethos is focused on performance, reliability and maintainability – designing solutions that not only solve complex problems, but remain elegant and robust in production.

A typical engagement involves strategic planning, infrastructure design, and hands-on implementation of microservices using frameworks like FastAPI, Flask or Django, backed by PostgreSQL, Kafka, and modern DevOps stacks (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CDK, CI/CD). Jordan also helps productionise machine learning models and deploys systems that meet stringent security, compliance and scalability requirements.

Track Record Across Industries and Geographies

Beyond energy trading, Jordan has consulted on large-scale software modernisation projects for media (Sky, Arqiva), accounting (MainRD), e-commerce (Tails.com), healthcare (Babylon Health), AI infrastructure (Corcel.io), and financial services (Bank of Ireland). His ability to rapidly understand domain-specific constraints and translate them into technical strategies has made him a highly sought-after consultant across both startup and enterprise environments.

Jordan’s work spans from designing broadcast platforms for BBC and Al Jazeera using AWS Media Services, to deploying GDPR-compliant AI-enabled accounting systems, to building infrastructure for decentralised GPU-sharing networks using blockchain and vector databases.

Mentoring, Thought Leadership and Training

Jordan is also an active mentor and trainer, helping teams and organisations elevate their Python engineering capabilities. He has trained dozens of developers in modern Python tooling, software security best practices, and effective cloud architecture. As founder of the Commodity Trading Software Engineering Bootcamp, Jordan equips engineers with the skills needed to excel in the high-stakes world of energy and commodities trading technology.

He has previously lectured at Sofia University and contributed to information security research featured by CNN and international conferences. He remains an active contributor to open-source projects and developer communities.
