Interests: Systems Design, Machine Learning, Finance
I am currently working as a software engineer at DaVinci Trading, Amsterdam, where I work on building and improving trading systems for their crypto team. I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 2026 with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering, with honors and a minor in Machine Intelligence and Data Science.
I have a background in systems, machine learning, and quantitative finance, with internships at Citadel, Tower Research Capital, Amazon, and BharatGen, where I worked on trading systems, large language models, and large-scale software infrastructure. I completed my Bachelor's Thesis Project with Prof. Mythili Vutukuru, where I worked on understanding and improving the performance of large language model inference systems under shared-context workloads.
Apart from playing with computer programs, I enjoy learning about finance, psychology and thinking through puzzles. Outside academics, I like playing table tennis and football, and I spend a fair amount of time at the gym.
I originally hail from Jodhpur, Rajasthan — a city shaped by deserts, forts, and long summer afternoons. Growing up there taught me patience, self-discipline, and an appreciation for consistency, values that continue to influence how I approach both work and life.
