Shubham Sawant

I am a computer science professional with a strong interest in low-level programming, distributed systems, and C++. With 6 years of experience working for trading systems and distributed systems software companies, I have developed a deep understanding of developing ultra-low latency execution, market data, and exchange connectivity systems. I am skilled in implementing complex trading algorithms and integrating advanced hardware solutions.

In my previous role as a Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg LP, I was part of the FIX Configuration Management Suite team, where I developed and maintained a FIX configuration management system using C++ and Python micro-services. I also implemented various features for automating the creation of FIX sessions and servers for trading system topologies. Prior to that, I worked on the Exchange Trading Connectivity team, where I developed exchange trading connectivity software solutions using C++, Python, and FIX.

During my time at Cohesity, I was a member of the technical staff and worked on the DataProtect (Virtualization) project. I developed distributed data protection system software using modern C++, Protobufs, and RPCs. I was involved in robust, distributed, crash-consistent, asynchronous, and multi-threaded C++ software development. I also managed customer escalations and collaborated on issue resolution with CPD, SREs, and customers. Some of my notable achievements include the development of a differential restore feature for VMware VMs to reduce data transfer in cloud environments and the implementation of application-consistent backup of Acropolis AHV VMs using NGtools for stun-free backups.

As a Software Development Engineer at Media.Net, I worked on various projects, including the development and deployment of VPN and proxy servers, as well as the development of a multi-threaded, UDP sockets-based DNS server using C++. I also designed and developed full-stack web applications, desktop applications, and browser extensions for search monetization on the Applications Distribution Platform.
