About me

Hey, I'm Rohit!

I’m a London-based quantitative software developer with experience building high-performance trading and analytical systems. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative modeling, software engineering, and product design. Over the years, I’ve architected and delivered complex systems for leading institutions across investment banking, hedge funds, commodities market making, and the gaming industry (LinkedIn). I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams across four time zones, presented regular briefings for C-suite/ senior executives on innovation initiatives, and bootstrapped product ideas from zero-to-one.

My experience includes:

  • Delivering a real-time OTC trading & execution platform processing volumes > $5M /day
  • Implementing systematic hedging strategies for a prop desk generating multi million $/month
  • Leading a team of quants & analysts to deliver analytical solutions for a trading desk
  • Developing quant analytics library for yield curve construction supporting 28 currencies
  • Automating funding process for corporate bank deposits worth > $100B with more than 100,000 accounts
  • Designing backend system enabling real-time multiplayer poker gameplay for thousands of concurrent users
  • Publishing patent at USPTO for visual descriptors based video quality assessment using outlier model

Outside of work, I enjoy sports, strength-training, cooking, and spending time with my partner and friends. I'm also trained in Indian classical music and occasionally draw. More recently, I've been focused on health and have lost 31 Kilograms so far.

I always wanted to have my own space on the internet, a place where I could collect all the things I like and talk about topics I love. This site is a blend of personal journal, professional updates, and a way to stake my corner of the internet. I revamped this website recently while learning React & Gatsby, using Tania's tutorials — with AI as a co-pilot along the way.
