What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer focused on building robust Python web applications and scalable data pipelines. I have designed and implemented production systems across trading and fintech domains, working closely with stakeholders to deliver business value.
At Oleander Financial Technology I contributed to the architecture and implementation of an algo trading platform and a trading product for the Indian market using Django and Python libraries. Previously at Mortgage Kart I designed a Workflow CRM in Frappe/Django and built web services with FastAPI, htmx, socket.io and Redis.
I led data-migration and ETL efforts—transforming over 5,000 semi-structured records, building live pipelines from MongoDB to PostgreSQL with Mozilla Kinto, and automating web scraping with Puppeteer and AWS Lambda to increase product coverage. I also maintain in-house ETL tooling and optimize data ingestion for analytics in Power BI.
I publish academic work and hold an Indian patent, and I actively participate in hiring and campus outreach. I seek roles where I can apply full-stack Python expertise, data engineering skills, and system design experience to solve complex product and analytics problems.
