About Me

I'm a Software Engineer at Graviton Research Capital, one of India's premier High-Frequency Trading firms. My work lives at the intersection of ultra-low-latency systems, algorithms, and quantitative research.

I graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Electronics & Electrical Communication Engineering, achieving a GPA of 9.57/10. My M.Tech specialization was in Visual Information Processing & Embedded Systems, with a minor in Computer Science.

Before Graviton, I interned at Adobe Research (Bengaluru) and Purdue University, where I worked on applied ML and research problems. I also received offers from Google, a testament to a rigorous 7-round interview process.

Outside of work, I'm an avid competitive programmer — ranked among the global top on Codeforces, CodeChef, and LeetCode.
