Cameron Reece Allcock

Introduction

I’m Cameron Reece Allcock, a software developer in Ballito on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal coast. I recently left FuelU2 to pursue my own practice in the wider AI and IT industries. I build full-stack software, Expert Advisors for MetaTrader 5, Chrome extensions, and fintech tools with Flutter, Python and AI—from contact-centre telephony for global clients to fleet platforms and quant work. On LinkedIn I keep a network of 500+ connections and write about quantitative finance, machine learning, and production software. I like it when the pieces fit.
