About

Hi, I am Ankush Gupta, a backend software development engineer with strong experience building low-latency, high-availability distributed systems in the FinTech and trading domain. At Syfe, I work on performance-critical backend services within a modern, event-driven microservices architecture supporting 100K+ daily trades. I have enabled tax-efficient UCITS ETF investing for global users by aligning investment flows with cross-border tax regulations, improving post-tax returns by nearly 100% compared to US-listed ETFs. I led the design and development of DIY Bundles, allowing users to create custom portfolios of stocks and ETFs—driving meaningful user adoption and platform revenue. To support data-driven investing, I built a scalable stock discovery engine (Top Traded, 52-week High/Low, Momentum Leaders), significantly increasing platform engagement. Key responsibilities and impact: • Designed and scaled backend trading services, ensuring high reliability and low-latency execution. • Migrated core production services to Kotlin 1.9, JDK 21, and Spring Boot 3.x with zero downtime for live trading systems. • Proactively resolved backend security vulnerabilities across services, strengthening platform security and compliance. • Built reactive, event-driven systems using Apache Kafka and Spring WebFlux optimised for throughput and resiliency. Technical expertise includes Kotlin, Java, Spring Boot, Spring WebFlux, Apache Kafka, Cassandra, Redis, PostgreSQL, and distributed system design. I have hands-on experience with Docker-based containerization, CI/CD using Jenkins, and observability tools such as SonarQube and the ELK Stack. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2022) and am deeply interested in backend engineering, system design, distributed platforms, and fintech infrastructure powering next-generation investing products. I offer 1:1 mentoring on backend engineering and system design. Book a 1:1 session: https://topmate.io/agupta1009
