About

With 10+ years of experience across data systems, low-latency infrastructure, and quantitative finance, I'm an IIT Kanpur (CSE) alumnus (AIR 172) dedicated to pushing the boundaries in these fields. My journey has taken me from data engineering at LinkedIn to SoC systems at Qualcomm, and then into the fast-paced world of finance with low-latency market access at Graviton. I've focused on alpha generation through proprietary trading strategies, gaining deep insights into market dynamics and algorithmic execution. Now, I lead YMS, where my passion lies in developing next-gen execution infrastructure and cutting-edge research tooling. This isn't just for us; it powers both our in-house trading and supports elite portfolio managers, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in FinTech.
