Hft| C++| Trading Systems Platform| Low Latency Execution Platform|

I bring a robust background in Trading Systems Development and low latency execution. At Gemini, I am part of the core trading-systems team & have designed and implemented high-performance, scalable services in C++ .My contributions spanned the entire SDLC, from development to QA testing and production deployment using Jenkins for creating artifacts/dists and Concourse pipelines to deploy the dists to production. I was also involved in enhancing trading system admin interface and event publishing to Kafka. We used C++20 for the development of critical components & compiled using GCC 12.2 on an x86 platform, using Bazel as our primary build system.

At Morgan Stanley, I developed critical components such as a Beneficiary Ownership Check and smart order routers for multiple international markets using C++14, achieving a median roundtrip latency of ~27 microseconds.

Previously, at Edelweiss, I contributed to the development of an in-house low latency trading platform for institutional clients using C++14, with a median roundtrip latency of ~200 nanoseconds. I also developed real-time risk metrics dashboards for limit checks.

At Deqode, I led the development of a high-throughput blockchain by forking the bitshares-core blockchain and integrating multiple peripheral chains for independent transaction verification. This work included developing Howdoo’s backend for token distribution and creating smart contracts on the EOS.IO network.

My extensive experience in low latency trading systems, Blockchain & Decentralized ledger development, C++ development, and end-to-end project management allows me to efficiently deliver quality software solutions on time. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to your success and drive cutting-edge solutions.
