About

I am a final-year undergraduate at IIT Kanpur, majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. I have a strong interest in algorithms, data structures, and mathematical problem-solving, which I actively pursue through competitive programming and puzzle-solving. I recently interned at Quadeye as a Quantitative Research Intern, where I worked on solving real-world problems using market data and quantitative techniques—an experience that deepened my interest in trading, finance, and data-driven decision-making. I am also passionate about the creative arts and served as a Coordinator of the Fine Arts Club at IIT Kanpur. Currently, I am focused on strengthening my foundations in computer science, preparing for roles in quantitative research, algorithmic trading, and problem-solving–oriented domains.

Experience

Quadeye

Quantitative Research Intern

May 2025 – Jul 2025 · 2 mos · Gurugram, Haryana, India · On-site

I worked on solving forecasting and reconstruction problems in complex, partially observable environments. I used constraint solvers and optimization techniques to build solutions that could infer hidden structures and patterns from market data.
I developed scalable data processing systems with parallel computing to efficiently handle large volumes of data across different instruments and exchanges. I also explored the use of Monte Carlo methods and genetic algorithms to improve solution quality and speed, focusing on making better decisions under uncertainty.
