# Harsh Bhakkad on Tal

## Headline

MTS 2 @ Cohesity \| IIT Guwahati, CSE 24

## 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\.
