Connamara

Founded in 1998 and rooted in the capital markets world, we’ve grown from a single employee in Chicago to a leading custom software development company serving a global clientele. An early adopter of Agile and a co-originator of QuickFIX, our longevity is a testament to our engineering expertise and deep understanding of trading and market structure. Founder Jim Downs combined his time spent on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Board Options Exchange with his early software development and Agile knowledge to form Connamara.

Our open outcry trading legacy is something few custom software development companies can claim. Being original capital markets software creators means we speak the language of our customers. We know how technology can bridge the gap between their business goals and today’s fast-paced financial world.
