About

As a staff engineer at Man Group, I work as a front office quant developer in the solutions business, where I help build portfolio construction and back testing frameworks for multi-strat portfolios and fund discovery and analytics platforms. I have been in this role for over five years, and I enjoy applying my skills in Python, C++, and Erlang to solve complex and challenging problems in the financial domain. Previously, I worked as a team lead and senior software engineer at Smarkets, where I worked on the exchange team in Erlang and C++, and on dockerized microservices and data engineering for marketing tech in Python and some React. I also have experience as a software developer at Flipkart, where I worked on the retail platform team. I have a master's degree in networking from the Indian Institute of Technology, and I am fluent in English and Hindi. I am passionate about building high-performance and scalable solutions that deliver value and impact.
