Platform/Cloud/QD

Staff Software Engineer specializing in distributed compute and the interface of software and infrastructure. Subject matter expert in all things GCP - Kubernetes (GKE), Networking, Efficiency.

I am engaged in solving large scale data problems quickly and efficiently, pushing theoretical bounds for all kinds of distributed systems.

Reported to the Head of Quant and Tech (Raman Soobrian). My work primarily involved code and design reviews, key technical decisions and implementation of core services.

• Started off as a SWE on the platform team in a small engineering org of ~6 eng

• In Sep 2022, I became the lead for the Platform team

• In Nov 2022, began working as a QD with the core services team simultaneously

• In Feb 2023, I was parallely leading the Core Services team

• By Apr 2023, I was serving as the technical lead for the eng org (core, platform and ecosystem, ~30 people across software, qd, ds, product and platform), and hired most of the platform / qd team.

I built the core ledger, overhauling the existing implementation, accounting for boundary cases, running it performant and parallelized, with a 20x ledger ingestion speed improvement, and turning it into a viable product as a result. It would eventually serve as the backbone for all risk, billing and analytics.

TLM. First (and only) IC to Manager promotion in the whole org that year.

Loved my time here, but always wanted to help build something new.

Reporting to the head of public cloud (Peter Mudd), helping build and scale Millennium's cloud program. Specialist software engineer position, cloud platform owner/dev/maintainer. All in one role also involving directly interfacing and architecting designs for Portfolio Managers, in addition to software engineering on the platform.

Infra SWE/Cloud/QD/DevOps/Security. Designing, developing and deploying solutions across Cloud, Networks and Linux.

Distinct lack of food in the pantry. If you've stumbled upon my profile and somehow are under the impression that I am a great candidate to recruit, start by sending me a photo of your pantry. (/s, don't actually do that)

• Specialist software engineer (security and platform engineering). Reported to the CISO.

• Designed and developed a cross-account dynamic security testing platform with ZAP over Fargate as proxy for integration test suite over Lambda, testing over custom api environment deployed daily with docker compose on EC2 with Ansible. Slack integration for monitoring results.

• Developed an application-layer FIPS-compliant envelope encryption library on Java for encryption at TSIQ, with KMS and data-key caching, additionally used for PII masking, also developed multi region infrastructure on Lambda using said library with multi region provider to support cross-region availability.

• Developed automated tools with Selenium and Requests for command line OAuth/Device Trust application access, such as Docusign, to improve productivity.

• Deployed all applications carefully with least privilege in security groups and IAM privileges and IAC. Concurrency unit testing in Java with threads. Daily integration testing over AWS Lambda.

• Consumed a lot of cookies from the pantry during my time here.
