Quant-focused backend developer delivering scalable Python systems for research, risk, and model alignment.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Python-focused developer specializing in quantitative research infrastructure, backend systems, and scalable data pipelines. I design Monte Carlo and scenario-generation modules, optimization libraries, and statistical toolkits that enable quants and researchers to simulate, evaluate, and optimize portfolio strategies efficiently.
At OpenAI I developed and optimized large-scale reinforcement learning pipelines and data curation systems to align models with human intent; earlier roles include building numerical signal-extraction modules, stress-testing frameworks, and automated market-data pipelines across multiple exchanges. I consistently improve performance and reliability through vectorized numerical routines, parallel execution, and distributed processing.
I collaborate closely with researchers, product teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex requirements into production-ready systems, prioritize robustness in stress and reconciliation tooling, and streamline end-to-end data and model workflows.
