About

I am highly interested in working with C++ , Low-Level Latency Developer, C++ Developer and Systems role at Product based companies, HFTs , Hedge Fund & Investment bank. I hold a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) , Varanasi. Exploring different fields of CS in my college have always been a great experience. I have great interest towards Mathematics, Quantitative Research and Competitive Programming. Currently I work as an R&D Engineer at Samsung Research - Noida. My keen interest has developed more and more in Financial Markets, Quantitative Trading and Research & High Frequency Trading Firms. I wish to pursue a career in these areas in near future. I got Global Rank 13 and India Rank 4 in International Quant Championship 2023 organised by WorldQuant and qualified for India National Finals. We also got a special mention at National Final stage by Judges. Apart from this I like sports a lot and then mystery thrillers are an arousal to my sleep.
