Financial Data Engineering

Today, investment in financial technology and digital transformation is reshaping the financial landscape and generating many opportunities. Too often, however, engineers and professionals in financial institutions lack a practical view of the concepts, problems, techniques, and technologies necessary to build a modern, reliable, and scalable financial data infrastructure. This is where financial data engineering is needed.

This book offers a comprehensive, practical, domain-driven approach to financial data engineering with real use cases, market practices, and hands-on projects.
