About

I’m a software engineer at D. E. Shaw, building and optimising analytics engine for discretionary trading. I primarily work with C++ and Python, contributing to the design, development, and modernisation of our proprietary financial analytics engine, and supporting related infrastructure. In my current hybrid role, I lead a team of four developers while continuing as an individual contributor—collaborating with stakeholders, resolving technical challenges, and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology (2020 grad).
