Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnkit Chandawala is a Senior Engineer based in London with 12 years of experience building highly scalable, distributed systems and cross-platform mobile experiences. He has driven end-to-end projects at Amazon—reducing voice-search latency by 65%, architecting Alexa integrations, and building generative-AI pricing features—and now applies that expertise in quantitative environments at Balyasny. Comfortable across Java, Python, Rust, Elixir and PHP, he has a track record of replacing costly third-party services with resilient in-house solutions (saving ~ $200k/month) and shipping real-time systems that handle hundreds of thousands of connections. Ankit’s background blends deep backend architecture, cloud-native SOA migrations, and mobile SDK optimizations deployed to 150M+ devices, revealing a rare ability to tune systems from kernel-to-UI. He trained as an electrical engineer at IIT Delhi and brings a research-minded approach—evident from stochastic modelling work during his undergraduate years—toward practical, production-grade software.
