Aniruddh Agarwal is an Associate Director and software engineer with 11 years’ experience building and scaling trading systems, currently based in New York. He specializes in core market infrastructure—equity market data, locate management, and position-keeping—and has led efforts to expand a successful US equity derivatives platform across regions and asset classes. Known for paying down long-standing technical debt, he pairs production-focused ops improvements with developer productivity work such as build-system and release pipeline automation. Previously he built high-throughput market data and backtest tooling for multi-asset, global systematic strategies, including parallelized backtesting on SLURM and automated post-release health checks. His background blends rigorous academic training (MS, Univ. of Michigan, 4.0 GPA) with hands-on research and maker experience, reflecting a practical curiosity that surfaces in both tooling and pedagogy.
