Summary
Shantanu Johri is a founder and CTO with a decade of experience building product-first engineering teams and scalable platforms for consumer and quant trading markets. As Co-Founder of Level2, he architects the real-time, no-code quant infrastructure that brings hedge-fund-grade automation and multi-asset relationships to retail traders. Previously he led technology at PeakPerformer—scaling a platform from zero to paying customers and $20K MRR—and launched and exited a consumer startup that trended on Product Hunt. He combines hands-on system design, protocol bridging, and motion-to-market execution across frontend, backend, and data stacks. Based in India, he’s equally comfortable shipping production Android and web products as he is designing quant-native architectures, bringing an operator’s bias to product engineering. A practical tinkerer, he repeatedly turns early prototypes into revenue-generating platforms.
