Saurav Agrawal
@sauravagrawal
I build AWS-based distributed infrastructure for high-frequency trading and data platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Edelcap Securities, I architect and optimize an AWS-based Python/Flask backtesting platform that runs hundreds of compute nodes and tens of thousands of simulation tasks per run. I've reduced p99 latency by 36%, eliminated storage over-provisioning, built checkpoint-based recovery for multi-day jobs, and improved cost visibility with Grafana and Slack-based governance.
Previously at Barclays, I built an Experian-to-Barclays AWS ingestion pipeline transferring 10TB+ at over 4TB/hour, reducing processing from 80 hours to under four hours. I also delivered AWS migrations, EKS compute environments, dynamic Glue sizing that cut spend by 55%, and EC2 scaling improvements that reduced monthly costs by 51%.
