Prakhar Agarwal — Software Engineer

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate from MNNIT Allahabad who took one detour into coding and ended up building real-time trading systems before I could say “differential equation.” What began as late-night problem-solving on competitive programming platforms turned into a full-blown love affair with system design, backend engineering, and building high-performance software that quietly powers big things. At Futures First, I engineer backend platforms and trading analytics systems where milliseconds make money and reliability is everything. I’ve built scalable data pipelines, real-time interfaces, and internal devtools that traders actually enjoy using — all while juggling TypeScript, Kafka, Next.js, and the occasional existential debugging session. My past roles at Expedia Group and McKinley Rice gave me exposure to large-scale caching, cloud-first architecture, and data-heavy backend development. Whether it's designing scalable architectures, optimizing latency, or debating tabs vs spaces, I bring energy, curiosity, and a strong bias for clean, impactful code. I like systems that hum quietly, interfaces that respond instantly, and teammates who appreciate the occasional pun in a commit message (yes I do ;).🥂
