Shift+B — the first shortcut a trader learns. Market buy.
ShiftB is a reference professional trading platform built purely from industry specifications — no legacy debt, no vendor lock-in. Built through agentic engineering — AI agents under structured expert oversight — it is a proven blueprint from high-frequency data receive to cross-platform trading frontends.
AI agents write the code. Expert architects orchestrate and review.
Production trading experience defines the architecture, quality standards, and design decisions.
Claude Code writes the implementation under continuous expert supervision — not boilerplate, but production-grade systems code.
AI agents run multi-stage automated QA on every change — validating code, architecture, and documentation. Only what passes is opened as a PR for expert review.
Why this works: In agentic engineering, automation becomes the most scalable reviewer. AI agents both implement changes and run a multi-stage automated QA pipeline against them — validating code correctness, architectural conformance, and documentation completeness — before opening any PR for expert review. Entire categories of bugs that have caused production incidents in trading systems for decades, along with architectural drift and documentation gaps, are caught and corrected here without ever consuming expert reviewer attention.
Four pillars — every one production-grade.
Direct exchange and regulatory feeds for U.S. equities. Every protocol parser built directly from exchange specifications — no third-party dependencies, no inherited assumptions.
Binary streaming to any number of clients with per-client state tracking. Consolidated views that merge multiple data sources on demand.
Terminal client for real-time market data browsing, system health monitoring, and feed diagnostics. Works locally or over the network.
Cross-platform GUI prototypes from a single business logic core. One backend, multiple rendering frameworks — desktop, web, and GPU-accelerated.
ShiftB isn't sold — it's the foundation we adapt for client engagements. Bring us a brief, an existing system, or a problem statement; we'll respond with a scoped delivery plan.
