About

I am a software engineer specializing in high-performance C++ and system optimization. With my foundation as a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering graduate from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati , and my ongoing experience as a Member of Technical Staff 2 at Cohesity, I am deeply passionate about writing highly efficient, low-latency code. My academic background includes rigorous coursework in High-Performance Computing and Mathematical Finance, which naturally drew me toward the technical challenges of quantitative finance. Throughout my career and academic research, I have consistently focused on eliminating bottlenecks. At Cohesity, I developed high-performance C++ features utilizing multithreading, move semantics, and template programming to improve system responsiveness. In one of my key projects, I optimized a core product component's refresh time, reducing it by 20 times. Additionally, my research on electronic design automation, accepted at the ICCAD conference , successfully reduced mapping latency and area by up to 75%. I complement this systems-level expertise with quantitative applications, such as building an options pricing application utilizing Black-Scholes and Binomial models. I am currently looking to bring my skills to a Low-Latency or C++ Software Engineer role at a High-Frequency Trading (HFT) firm. I thrive in mathematically rigorous and highly competitive environments, drawing on my background as a top performer in the JEE Main and Advanced exams and my global ranks in Codechef competitions. If you are a recruiter hiring for a fast-paced team that values microseconds and elegant C++ architecture, please send me a direct message—I would love to connect.
