About

Passionate problem solver with an exceptional eye for details who also brings an experience of 6+ years in the financial services industry. Having started my journey with vendor side support and eventually transitioning to institutional brokers and now a hedge fund, I always enjoy dealing with new challenges. For me, everyday is a new journey and I love being a part of the solution to problems. My current profile is that of an experienced trading systems engineer who manages trading systems that include order flows such as OMS, order gateways, risk management, market data feeds as well as doing script-based automation.
