# Ameya Raj on Tal

## Headline

Software Engineer @ One \(former Pica\) \| Systems, Algorithms, Automations

## About

Software Engineer who thinks in systems, not features\. I build platforms that coordinate complex workflows — dependency graphs, distributed state machines, self\-improving execution pipelines\. The problems I enjoy most are the ones where being almost right is worse than being obviously wrong: race conditions across distributed pods, database scoping bugs that silently corrupt historical data, or getting 12 out of 12 regime clusters to actually activate in a self\-supervised model\. What I'm working on: At Pica, I built an autonomous API testing platform that validates 200\+ platform integrations\. The interesting parts: topological sorting for action ordering, interrupt\-resume logic that persists full execution state across pod restarts, and a two\-pass system where the AI agent learns from its own failures to retry intelligently — 70% cost reduction, 80% higher success rate\. On the side, I'm building Quantara — a self\-supervised financial foundation model \(84M params, scaling to 350M\) that learns representations across 5 markets \(US equities, Indian equities, crypto, commodities, forex\)\. Factorized attention architecture, 6 training objectives, multimodal news fusion with 29M\+ GDELT events, all engineered to train on free\-tier T4/P100 GPUs with fp16 and gradient checkpointing\. Previously: data processing pipelines at Dom Ventas \(90% reduction in report generation time, 500\+ users\), survey platform at Tongmyong University \(international collaboration, 1000\+ concurrent users\)\. Education: BS in Data Science from IIT Madras, BSc in Computer Science from University of Delhi\. Tech I reach for: Python, TypeScript, C\+\+, PyTorch, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Docker, Polars\. But I care more about the problem than the tool\. Always interested in connecting with people who build systems where correctness matters\.
