Internships
JANE STREET ASIA May 2023 - July 2023
Quantitative Trading | Company Internship Hong Kong
• Participated in multiple Mock Trading rounds, developing trading strategies for fair price estimation and trade
execution through analysis of given data and implementing them in a Proprietary Trading System .
• Explored arbitrage relationships in ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) and formulated different techniques to
estimate the size and duration of profitable opportunities, by lower and upper bounding the same.
• Analysed data on Total Return Swaps and devised a time-based pricing estimate for them incorporating specific
trading costs (compared with similar costs in other securities) giving highly accurate results 60 percent of the time.
TOTAL STORE ORDER GAMES May 2022 - July 2022
Prof. Parosh Abdulla | Research Internship Uppsala University, Sweden
• Conceptualized the 2 and 2 1 player Games on the Total Store Ordering Model (TSO Game) and Load Buffer
2
Semantics Model, analysing the decidability of the safety problem and winning strategies for the players
• Extended the Load Buffer Semantics Game to a solvable instance of the B-Lossy Channel System Game
• Ideated an ingenious approach extending the modified TSO Game to the Load Buffer Semantics Game
• Drafted a proof regarding the undecidability of the original Total Store Order Games, using results regarding
Integer Parity Games on Vector Abstraction State Systems and Perfect Channel Systems
FINIQ Dec 2022
Software Development | Company Internship Kothrud, Pune
• Enhanced the proprietary financial coding language of FinIQ, FinSPL, by adding functionality for parallelization of
operations similar to Numpy and MATLAB, and efficient data structures for information storage and retrieval.
• Refactored the original FinSPL code to work with the new grammar, debugged the unhandled error cases in the
code and finished incomplete code, allowing for a seamless transition from the old language to the new version.
• Deployed the features on the FinIQ server and integrated existing services achieving a notable increase in speed.
Key Projects
PHOTOGRAPHIC × PHOTOREALISTIC Feb 2022 - Apr 2022
Prof. Ajit Rajwade Course Project
• Implemented a novel paper using machine learning to disinguish photographic vs photorealistic images
• Programmed Separable Quadrature Mirror Filters for parsing RGB photographs and engineered a Multi-scale
Multi-oriented Quadrature Mirror Filter Pyramid, enabling analysis of each sub-band individually
• Analysed each sub-band to calculate basis coefficients, generating a feature vector with 216 elements per image
• Trained the Support Vector Machine on the feature vectors of more than 1500 sample pictures, achieving an
average prediction accuracy rate of 92.41 on Photorealistic Images, and 80.85 on Photographic Images
POMRP SAMPLING Feb 2023 - Apr 2023
Prof. Rahul Vaze and Prof. Shivaram Kalyanakrishnan Course Project
• Developed polynomial algorithms to minimize the combined sampling and incorrect prediction loss on Partially
Observable Markov Reward Processes (POMRP) for cases of finite and infinite time horizons.
• Formulated a Dynamic Programming and a Front Calculate Approach for the finite and infinite horizon cases.
• Approximated the POMRP to an Average Markov Decision Process (MDP), proved the developed algorithm
satisfies 2 approximativity, which evaluated to less than 5% error in cases with matrix symmetry indices > 0.6
TORRENTOR Feb 2022 - Apr 2022
Prof. Kameshwari Chebrolu Course Project
• Implemented a Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing system with functionality for automatic location of files
• Applied concurrency principles and socket programming abstractions in C++ ensuring secure transmission of
files to clients of the order of 106 , while reducing collisions and retransmissions under the TCP protocol
• Optimized file search algorithm for different topologies resulting in a reduction of search time by a factor of 10
simulating message latency, proof of work, transaction generation and verification and blockchain forks.
• Incorporated node hyperparameters in the network evaluating the results of selfish and stubborn mining attacks.
• Implemented syntax checking, global and local symbol tables and operator overloading resolution supporting
function recursion, with a parse tree graph and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for visual representation.
• Formulated assembly code using the AST utilizing the Sethi - Ullman Algorithm for efficient code generation.
splitting utilizing Flutter framework for the front-end and No SQL Google Firebase Database for the backend.
• Organized the Firebase backend into collections ensuring encryption of data, applied stateless JWT tokens for
session identification, and integrated PayTM App Invoke API to make payments directly through the app.
