Sidharth Mundhra
Desk Strat Associate - Interest Rate Derivatives
Tokyo, Japan
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSidharth Mundhra is an engineer blending quantitative finance and robotics expertise, currently driving interest rate derivatives strategy at Morgan Stanley after two summers and a multi-year quant strat role. A Mechanical Engineering undergrad with a CSE minor from IIT Bombay, he leads complex, multidisciplinary engineering projects—most notably heading India’s top underwater robotics team where he designed LQR controllers, low-level drivers, and 3D hull reconstruction pipelines. He’s an active open-source contributor and GSoC alumnus/mentor for SymPy, where his backend work produced a 40% speed-up in limit calculations and improved distribution handling in a widely used Python CAS. Equally comfortable writing C++/ROS drivers for sensors or developing precision option-pricing techniques in a trading desk environment, he brings 6 years of hands-on systems, control, and software experience. Not obvious at first glance: he pairs deep low-level hardware interfacing with production-grade numerical improvements, bridging naval robotics and financial engineering.
