About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Arcesium, working on building scalable and high-performance systems in the fintech space. I enjoy solving tough engineering problems, whether it’s around data platforms, distributed systems, or making APIs faster and more reliable. My experience spans across Java, Spring Boot, Python, Apache Spark, and Delta Lake, and I’m always looking for better ways to bring efficiency and reliability into large-scale systems. I graduated from IIIT Sri City with a degree in Computer Science and have a strong background in algorithms and competitive programming — I even qualified for the ACM ICPC Regionals three times. Outside of work, I stay curious about system design, big data, and the future of financial technology. I have a strong background in competitive programming, having qualified for ICPC Regionals three times: ACM ICPC 2018 (Kharagpur) – Rank 38 ACM ICPC 2019 (Gwalior) – Rank 20 ACM ICPC 2019 (Amritapuri) – Rank 77 (Team Name: Ambiguity) You can find me on: CodeChef: prashant231997 HackerEarth: prashant_mahanta
