# Ankit Pahariya on Tal

## Headline

Software Engineer II \| C\+\+, ODBC Drivers, Payment/EMV Systems \| AI\-Assisted & Agentic Development \(Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT\) \| Fintech & SaaS

## About

Software Engineer with 5\+ years building high\-throughput, latency\-sensitive C\+\+ systems across fintech and payments — engineering culture that overlaps closely with performance\-critical software work in the semiconductor and platform space\. At insightsoftware, I design ODBC driver/connector architecture in C\+\+ that lets applications talk reliably to cloud data sources at scale, alongside CI/CD and security hardening that cut vulnerabilities 40% and deployment time 30%\. Previously at Verifone, I built on\-device software for POS terminals running Verifone's embedded OS — implementing host\-terminal communication in C\+\+ for EMV/card transactions and improving transaction throughput 20%\. That meant writing C\+\+ that runs directly on constrained, purpose\-built hardware under real reliability and timing pressure\. Core stack: C\+\+, Java, Python, SQL, Docker, Jenkins, shell scripting\. Strong systems/DSA foundation — ACM ICPC 2019 participant, Google Code Jam, CodeChef CCDSAP\-certified\. Open to Software Engineer / SDE\-2 roles in systems, platform, or performance engineering\.
