Jatin Garg — Software Engineer
I'm a tech guy from IIT BHU CS who ended up in the high-frequency trading world. During my last year of graduation, I spent some time diving into DeFi stuff, researching this fascinating financial instrument called squeeth (yeah, weird name but cool concept) at Polynomial. For the past two years, I've been working on the tech side of HFT, where we're constantly pushing systems to capture market opportunities in nanoseconds (not milliseconds - that's dinosaur territory in our world). Recently made it to SDE 2, where I've found that remembering weird bugs from six months ago can save everyone a lot of time when dealing with complex systems and I am not bad at this Looking back, I owe a lot to a few teachers from school who pushed me to keep learning even when things got tough. My Manager at Polynomial once told me something that stuck: "never be that smart kid who did nothing in his 20s." That reality check pushed me to actually build things that matter instead of just thinking about them.
