Risk. Systems. Edge.

I work where uncertainty is real and outcomes aren't guaranteed. I take risk seriously — not to chase it, but to understand and shape it. Over time, I want to build systems that turn that understanding into consistent advantage.

Kovari

Social travel matching for the solo traveler.

Led end-to-end implementation of a full-stack travel matching platform. Engineered compatibility logic across destinations, dates, budgets, and interests — with ML-based ranking, live admin observability dashboards, and production-grade Redis infrastructure.

Ultra Low-Latency Order Book

Microsecond-scale execution in C++.

Exchange-style limit order book in C++ with strict price–time priority across the full order lifecycle. Cache-conscious memory layouts, manual allocation reuse, fine-grained concurrency — with an event-driven core enabling deterministic replay and benchmarking.

Multi-Timeframe Algo Trading Bot

Signal from structure, not noise.

A decision pipeline detecting market structure events (BOS/CHOCH) via swing-point analysis. Sequential filtering reduces raw signals by 30–40% over 180-day backtests. Custom candle-by-candle engine with ATR-based stops, fixed fractional risk, and R-multiple diagnostics.

Bayesian Portfolio Optimization

Uncertainty-aware asset allocation.

Portfolio optimization integrating Hidden Markov Models for regime detection with Bayesian inference over expected returns. CVXPY allocation under real-world constraints — improving Sharpe ratio and reducing drawdowns versus static optimization baselines.

About

Who I am

I'm a CSE student at SVNIT Surat, building at the edge of systems engineering, machine learning, and quantitative finance.

I care about systems that operate correctly under pressure — whether that's a microsecond-latency order book, a production backend, or a signal that holds up over a 180-day backtest. I believe the best engineering is born from deep domain understanding, not just technical proficiency.
