About

I was part of Infra team at Quantbox, a high frequency trading firm, where I started and led the Crypto Infrastructure team. Prior to that, I worked at Tower Research Capital in the Simulation and Post trade team. My focus is on low latency software, with deep interest in optimising and innovating market connectivity. Over a decade long career, I've worked across the full HFT infrastructure stack including market data, order entry and risk, simulation and post trade. I'm passionate and have a deep interest in crypto and believe that the industry is going to grow in future. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about HFT, infrastructure, or the evolving landscape of Crypto/Web3.0
