Featured Work & Systems
Q1 2026 Highflyer Award | Osttra
Recognized across OSTTRA for outstanding execution speed, technical consistency, and platform delivery. Currently active as a technical mentor and onboarding lead for the 2026 new grad engineering cohort.
ETD Position Transfer Application
The Friction: New complex regulatory trade flows (DMIST
compliance) required a dynamic, localized interface that could react to strict asset-type rules
in real-time.
The Fix: Acted as the primary UI owner using React Hook Form
to orchestrate conditional data validation, occasionally stepping into the backend to map Java
Spring services to the new schema.
The Payoff: Eliminated invalid parameter combinations before
submission, successfully integrating global trading guidelines and dropping transaction
rejection rates.
Legacy Enterprise UI Modernization (Equities)
The Friction: Core monolithic Java services were tightly
coupled to an obsolete Angular.js 1.3 frontend, creating massive security risks and blocking
modern CI/CD pipelines.
The Fix: Led a 20-generation architectural leap from
Angular.js 1.3 directly to Angular 20. Leveraged AI-assisted workflows to map undocumented
dependencies and maintain strict 1:1 feature parity.
The Payoff: Cleared a decade of technical debt, unblocked the
backend engineering teams, and radically reduced browser memory footprint for high-frequency
trading clients.
High-Throughput Archival & CSP Security Remediation
The Friction: Production databases were bogged down by
hundreds of millions of legacy records, while frontend assets failed strict enterprise
Content
Security Policy (CSP) scans.
The Fix: Engineered a performant, multi-threaded Java 8
archival process directly within the core monolith to cleanly archive 500M+ historical records.
Simultaneously refactored legacy JSP/JS files to eliminate cross-origin vulnerabilities and
inline script injections.
The Payoff: Delivered an 85% drop in operational search
latency and brought core Equities modules into strict corporate security compliance.
Proprietary Blotter Migration to AG-Grid
The Friction: The platform relied on a restrictive,
undocumented in-house library (smart-blotter) that caused rendering bottlenecks during
high-volume trade sessions.
The Fix: Led the complete decommissioning of the legacy
library, migrating 5-7 major application screens to a standardized ag-grid architecture with
custom cell renderers and persistent local-storage state.
The Payoff: Unlocked advanced multi-sort and fuzzy-search
features requested by major clearing firms while stripping thousands of lines of fragile,
custom
UI code.
Autonomous Quantitative Analysis Dashboard
The Friction: Processing highly fragmented
geopolitical event markets and news streams in real-time to uncover an actionable
trading alpha vector.
The Fix: Engineered a modular quantitative Python
data pipeline cross-referencing real-time prediction odds with news API data, executing
sentiment analysis using localized LLM nodes and TradingView indicator streams.
The Payoff: Builds a completely automated,
asynchronous analysis engine providing objective sentiment ratings and technical signals
before trade orchestration.
Second Guesser // Intention Dissector
The Friction: Getting an ambiguous,
passive-aggressive digital message on text or Slack and immediately overthinking what
they actually meant.
The Fix: Built a lightweight desktop utility that
grabs a swift screen region capture, holds pixel data strictly in-memory for total
security protection, and loops it directly into Gemini models for conversational
evaluation.
The Payoff: Delivers a completely blunt, unbiased
second opinion on conversational tone so you don't misread the room or fire back a
terrible response.
3D Geospatial Remote Sensing Computing Study
The Friction: Measuring environmental biomass density
distributions accurately over vast, complex physical forest terrains is practically
impossible by hand.
The Fix: Co-authored an analytical research paper
linking Copernicus digital elevation models with multi-spectral Sentinel-2 satellite
data streams to compute localized vegetation patterns.
The Payoff: Converts raw planetary light captures
into geometric 3D mapping models, giving researchers automated macro signals on forest
distribution changes from orbit.
Live Option Chain Pipeline (LOCA)
The Friction: Manually processing multi-strike
options data matrices on high-volatility trading days is chaotic and messy.
The Fix: Assembled an internal real-time data parser
to scrape structural index arrays straight from NSE India feeds and pipe them through
Pandas dataframes.
The Payoff: Condenses scattered volume open interest
variables into a single, clean visual dashboard so options traders can track volume
trends on a clear line.
Out of Office
The Gadgets
Pretty much a certified gear enthusiast. Love having a clean custom configurations, lover of deep linear mechanical keyboard acoustics, great books, and some might say, too many diecast models.
The Sounds
Idle // Rotation List Enabled
The Frames
Capturing industrial lines, geographic balances, and raw environmental illumination profiles found during transit using my phone, which is more often than not a Samsung lol.
