About

I'm David Do — Engineer & Founder specializing in Trading Platforms, Oil & Gas, and AI Infrastructure — based in Lakeland, Florida.

My career spans 15 years across two distinct but complementary domains: oil & gas pipeline monitoring systems and financial technology. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines, which gave me the analytical foundation to work on mission-critical industrial systems before transitioning into software engineering and trading platform development.

By day I work as an Automation Technology Professional at Wood PLC, deploying Virtuoso pipeline monitoring and leak detection systems for offshore oil and gas clients. Outside of that, I'm the founder of Arden Charts — a market data and charting platform that integrates real-time feeds from exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Oanda, and more, built on a self-managed bare-metal infrastructure stack.

Over my career I've led teams, shipped production trading platforms, integrated exchange connectivity via REST, WebSocket, and FIX protocol, and built the infrastructure that keeps it all running — Kubernetes, Proxmox, NATS, QuestDB, Cloudflare, and Tailscale.

Throughout my life, I've been driven by curiosity — exploring how things work and pushing to understand systems at a deeper level. In this section, I document my projects, experiences, and the things that matter to me. If you find anything useful, I hope it inspires something in your own journey.
