About

With a diverse background spanning quantitative finance, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and computational neuroscience, I am a driven professional adept at leveraging technology to tackle complex challenges and drive innovation. I specialized in developing and implementing high-frequency trading strategies, particularly focused on Trans-Atlantic arbitrage for equities and cryptocurrencies. My expertise extends to architecting and deploying trading bots, optimizing latency, and designing microservices using C++, Python, and Golang. Notably, I led initiatives resulting in an 80% reduction in latency through distributed architecture. I contributed to projects at Nutanix, where I enhanced cluster health monitoring systems and facilitated efficient log collection for debugging purposes. I also spearheaded the automation of Python code documentation using Sphinx and Nginx. In the realm of artificial intelligence, I explored cutting-edge techniques such as few-shot learning with large-scale pretrained models like CLIP, while also pioneering new methodologies like Multi-label Weight Imprinting for personalized labeling tasks. Collaborating with esteemed researchers, I developed AI applications for habit formation and predictive advertising, achieving significant performance boosts over existing models. Additionally, my tenure at the Neural Systems and Datascience Laboratory at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory provided me with invaluable experience in computational neuroscience. Here, I conducted simulations and analyses of neural behavior using advanced models and parallel computing techniques. My multifaceted journey has equipped me with a unique blend of skills encompassing finance, software engineering, AI, and neuroscience. I am eager to continue exploring interdisciplinary opportunities where I can contribute my expertise to drive impactful innovations. Let's connect and explore potential collaborations!

Summer Intern

May 2019Jul 2019 · 2 mos · New Delhi Area, India

  • Worked on a project called Rapid CT which enables radiologists to quickly identify whether a patient needs critical attention and should be added to a priority queue which is maintained at the hospital. This was done through deep learning. The CT scan of a patient would be the input for the model and the model was able to determine whether the patient has hemorrhage or not with a 98.3% accuracy. This significantly reduced the workload of the radiologist and helped him achieve results faster.
  • The second project includes detecting the heart and plotting the heartbeat of a Zebrafish through a video of the fish.
