Background

About James Unsworth

As a Software Engineer at Goldman Sachs, I bring a blend of technical and financial expertise built over two years in Equities and now in Asset Management. In Equities, I specialised in corporate action processing and worked across a variety of equity products. Currently, in Asset Management Private, I’m focusing on cross-asset products and driving operations automation to improve efficiency and scalability. Previously, I was an independent developer, building mobile games and web platforms that scaled to daily users. These combined experiences shaped my skills as a full-stack developer, gaining proficiency in Java, Next.js for data visualisation, MongoDB, React Native and Kubernetes. I’ve also had the chance to contribute to AI research within Global Markets, exploring Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to integrate AI advancements into real-world front-office applications. I’m passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive innovation within finance, especially as the industry embraces AI and automation. I’m excited to continue pushing boundaries, merging technical depth with financial insights to create impactful solutions.
