Summary
Dhruv Bhagadia is a software engineer with eight years of experience specializing in low-latency systems for high-frequency trading, currently at Optiver. He has deep hands-on expertise in C++ systems engineering—optimizing TLB behavior with huge pages, integrating Solarflare TCPDirect for sub-25% send latency improvements, and profiling critical order-flow and market-data pipelines. Dhruv excels in small, agile teams, rapidly navigating complex codebases to build market data adapters, multi-session gateways, and high-throughput data recording and simulation platforms that use on-the-fly compression and concurrent rendering. Beyond performance tuning, he has designed robust test frameworks, solved subtle hardware-integration bugs, and introduced timestamping improvements to tighten timing accuracy—skills that bridge low-level kernel/firmware interactions and production trading reliability. Based in Mumbai, he combines a quantitative mindset with pragmatic engineering and welcomes collaborations around core systems, quantitative research tooling, or low-level optimizations.
