Kedar Bhat is a senior software engineer in Chicago with 17+ years of experience building low-latency, production trading systems and market-making strategies across equities, futures, FX and energy markets. He combines deep quantitative research with hands-on engineering—delivering FPGA-driven controllers and high-performance Java/C++ engines while authoring metaprogramming tools that cut compile times and accelerate iteration. His career spans major trading firms (DRW, IMC, Citadel) where he reduced tick-to-trade latency into microsecond ranges and slashed test-deploy lead times from days to hours. Comfortable partnering with hardware teams and traders, he excels at moving strategies from concept to live trading and automating complex test environments. An MBA in finance and an MS in computer science underpin his rare blend of trading intuition and systems expertise.
