  • Designed, implemented, and optimized multiple real-time decision engines in C++ and Java, cutting event-to-response latency from ∼100 μs to <50 μs via cache-efficient design and lock-free multithreading, improving system performance by 40% under high-throughput conditions.
  • Designed and implemented a position retention service with in-memory caching and a TCP socket interface, decoupling UI and strategy state sync. Enabled real-time position fetch/update, auto-recovery on service restarts, and DB persistence, eliminating 15-minute recovery and reducing downtime to 0 during peak trading hours.
  • Optimized a simulation replay engine by implementing a min-heap for timestamp ordering, batched buffered I/O (500:1 syscall reduction), and a multithreaded ingestion-publish pipeline, improving throughput by 5x and enabling deterministic validation of 300GB+ datasets.
  • Designed and iteratively enhanced real-time strategy management interfaces using ReactJS and Java to monitor and control high-frequency decision engines processing 22M+ events/day and managing portfolios over $5M. Built in close collaboration with stakeholders, integrating live-configurable controls (e.g., toggles, risk limits, exposure thresholds), and improved frontend responsiveness by 50% during high-volume conditions.
  • Identified and automated a manual end-of-day position reconciliation process by building a robust reporting pipeline using Python, SQL, Pandas, and cron-based schedulers. Integrated with 3rd-party trade data APIs to reduce manual effort by 90% (∼2 hours/day), saving clients ∼500 hours/year in manual reviews and significantly improving data reliability and exception traceability.
  • Diagnosed and resolved 30+ live trading incidents while ensuring 99.9% uptime through client communication.
