Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnubhav Patel is a backend-focused Software Engineer III based in New York with nine years of professional experience building distributed systems and cloud-native services. He has progressed through multiple engineering tiers at Tower Research Capital, bringing practical expertise in Python, Go, and C++ to low-latency, production systems. Active in open source, he has contributed to high-profile projects like Scrapy and SciPy—improving documentation, testing, and parser interoperability—and helped harden the pip installer and testing infrastructure. Early work includes a high-impact Gojek internship where he shipped new ad inventory and automation that drove adoption by thousands of brands, and a GSoC project that produced a widely used robots.txt parser and integration for Scrapy. He combines research chops (IISc robotics paper and award) with hands-on platform engineering, and is particularly comfortable translating research-grade vision and algorithmic work into production-quality services. Colleagues find him equally at home refactoring core tooling and writing production tests or docs that scale across developer ecosystems.
