Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSiddhartha Gandhi is a Senior Software Developer in the New York City area with nine years of experience building quantitative analytics and data platforms for fixed income and structured products. He blends domain expertise in CMBS, RMBS, CLOs and esoteric ABS with hands-on engineering, having implemented production tooling and risk-focused analytics at hedge funds and financial institutions. His background spans roles at Centiva Capital, Davidson Kempner, Bloomberg, AIG and Fitch, giving him rare visibility across structuring, modeling and production systems. An active open-source contributor, he has improved robustness in widely used projects like EFCore.BulkExtensions and the pandas type stubs, notably fixing tricky SQLite edge cases and enhancing type safety for data workflows. Colleagues describe him as the bridge between quantitative modeling and resilient engineering, able to turn complex credit logic into auditable, high-performance code. He holds a BA in Economics from Vanderbilt and often brings a data-first, type-safe approach not commonly found in pure quant teams.
