Information and Communications Research Lab, ITRI

Published:

As a summer intern in the Information and Communications Lab of Taiwan’s most prestigious R&D Institute, I did the following:

  • Worked on a “Musical Style” Recognizer to classify music into the genres: rock, jazz, classical, gospel, rap
  • Trained the model on our own dataset of 5000 musical pieces(of 1-minute duration each) extracted from Youtube
  • Used the weights of the trained CNN classifier to implement Neural Style Transfer on the pre-processed inputs (spectrograms from mp3 files) and get a musical piece with the desired melody in the desired style

USC Viterbi School of Engineering

Published:

As one of the 18 people across India to be selected for IUSSTF-Viterbi Summer Research Program, I spent my summer of 2018 working under the guidance of Prof. Meisam Razaviyayn and did the following: • A literature study of previous works related to Quantization and Binarization of Neural Networks • Came up with the idea of adaptively quantizing different layers of a neural network with different number of bits • Modified existing Tensorflow and Pytorch models to test out various hypothesis to improve accuracy • Studied the effect of different regularizers to aid in the quantization/binarization of the layers of a neural network • Developed an algorithm using regularization to optimally choose the quantization for each layer during training

Tower Research Capital

Published:

During my internship at Tower Research Capital Pvt. Ltd. (Gurgaon, India), I completed the following tasks:

  • Set up a pipeline for simulation of an existing monitoring tool on historical dates which will help configure better parameters for the tool in the future
  • Deployed an end-to-end product for the same; developed the backend using C++, Bash, Python (Flask) and the UI using HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Incorporated features like higher replay rate for the simulation tool and better log readability (critical for building up analytics) into existing codebases
  • Used the ELK stack to index the logs of the monitoring tool and create visualizations for log analysis on Kibana, which is critical for risk assessment

Senior Associate - Trading Systems, AlphaGrep

Published:

As a Senior Associate - Trading Systems at AlphaGrep, I accomplished the following:

  • Lead a team of four members to develop and maintain order management and market data infrastructure for crypto exchanges like Binance, Deribit, etc., and FIX-based exchanges like SocGen, Instinet, etc.
  • Developed the core order-routing framework for rapid onboarding of crypto exchanges. It abstracted features like disconnect recovery, HTTP-Websocket arbitration, etc., from exchange-specific code.
  • Developed and maintained low-latency order management and drop-copy infrastructure for NSE, adding support for features like ORS-DC trade arbing, risk checks for options trading, and many more.
  • Continually involved in latency optimizations for high-frequency trading software built on C++, based on concepts like cache-warming for real-time systems, kernel-bypass for networking applications, etc.
