Sachin Rai — Software Engineer

I am a Trading System Engineer at Algoquant, where I am part of the core/infra development team, building high-frequency trading systems that leverage cutting-edge technologies and algorithms. I joined Algoquant in January 2024, after working as a Software Development Engineer 2 at Nutanix, a leading cloud computing company. At Nutanix, I was part of the Disaster Recovery & Backup Development Team, working on the Sync-Replication technology, a zero downtime backup solution for Nutanix customers. I developed and owned the data gathering feature from user/customer clusters, which helped in understanding usage patterns and providing product recommendations. I also resolved critical customer issues, leading to customer satisfaction and revenue growth. I was responsible for the proper functioning of Witness Clusters, which enabled the auto-allocation of resources in case of disasters. I have a strong research and competitive programming background, with a Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communications Engineering from National Institute of Technology Silchar. I have completed multiple nanodegrees and certifications in Machine Learning, Data Structures and Algorithms, and Neural Networks and Deep Learning from Udacity and Coursera. I have also participated and won several hackathons and coding competitions, such as the Smart India Hackathon, Facebook's Secure & Private AI Challenge, and CodeChef. I am skilled in Python, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, C++, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Leadership, and Data Structure and Algorithms. I am passionate about solving complex problems using technology and creating innovative solutions that benefit the society.
