About

I have been admitted to the Master of Science in Computer Science program at Northeastern University, starting Fall 2025, to further refine my skills in Distributed Systems, Software Engineering methodologies, Algorithms, Cloud Computing. With over 4 years of professional experience at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, I’ve designed, developed, and maintained high-performance backend systems in the electronic trading domain. My work has spanned across asset classes including Equities, Bonds, Credit, and Interest Rate Swaps, with a focus on building resilient systems and ensuring operational excellence. My technical expertise includes Gen-AI, Java, Spring Boot, MicroServices, AWS, Python, FastAPI, Dash along with strong foundations in NLP, Machine Learning Models, data structures, algorithms, and test-driven development (TDD). I’ve worked extensively with financial protocols such as FIX/ION, and integrated with platforms like Bloomberg, Tradeweb, and MarketAxess. At Goldman Sachs, I led the development of control frameworks and governance tools to mitigate risks in e-trading environments. I’ve consistently delivered business-critical projects, received internal recognition, and collaborated closely with cross-functional teams across global locations. As I transition into graduate studies, I’m seeking to complement my practical experience with deeper academic knowledge and research. I’m actively looking to connect with recruiters, professionals, researchers, and organizations in the fields of software engineering. Skills: Gen-AI, Lang Chain, Java, Python, SQL, Microservices, Spring boot, Docker, Dash, Git, NLP, Restful Services, Java Multithreading

  • 1) As an Associate Software Engineer in the Electronic Trading Controls team at Goldman Sachs, I have been responsible for designing and delivering robust risk controls across Equities and Derivatives business lines to ensure regulatory compliance, trading system stability, and operational resilience.
  • 2) I led the end-to-end development of a Python-based governance dashboard using Dash and FastAPI, enabling real-time visualization of control metrics across global trading desks. This dashboard enhanced data-driven decision-making and became a core monitoring tool adopted by multiple stakeholders.
  • 3) Additionally, I designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins for a critical internal dashboard project called "Dataserver" — a Spring-based backend application. This effort automated build, test, and deployment processes, significantly accelerating delivery cycles and minimizing manual errors during releases.
  • 4) I contributed to the modernization of legacy control infrastructure, introducing event-driven alerts, automated exception reporting, and metrics tracking. These enhancements reduced operational overhead, improved audit readiness, and increased the resilience of trading flows.
  • 5) Collaborating with global stakeholders across Risk, Compliance, and Business Technology, I ensured that all technical implementations were aligned with strategic objectives and control assurance goals.
  • 6)My involvement extended to Agile ceremonies, peer code reviews, and sprint planning, ensuring continuous delivery of scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
