Democratizing finance for all.

Robinhood was founded on a simple idea—that our financial markets should be accessible to all. In an industry where barriers have prevailed for too long, this hasn’t always been easy. We’re leveling the playing field by making trading more intuitive, more affordable, and more inclusive to ensure that everyone, regardless of wealth or industry knowledge, feels empowered to participate in the financial system.

Senior Software Engineer

• Designed and developed real-time software modules for Brain Computer Interface (BCI) research team.
• Implemented data stream processing pipelines and API for system control and monitoring of multiple biometric sensors using Python 3.
• Developed MicroServices for client wearables and neural speech decoding technologies which resulted in improved accuracy of speech detection and enhanced user interface communication.

• Led design and development of software features and system enhancement for Content Delivery Network (CDN) using C++, C, Python, Java and PHP.
• Researched and developed “Distributed Content Storage”. Fully distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing, object storage to serve as a backend for new CDN service offering. 
• Designed and implemented active caching proxy for reliable metadata distribution on a global scale. Set of multi-threaded, non-blocking microservices, resulted in about 60x decrease in data propagation time and significant increase in delivery infrastructure resiliency.
• Proposed, Led, and developed “Live Dynamic Ingest” project. A set of system-wide software design enhancements to address static provisioning and manual failover problems. This cross-functional design provided a dynamic, cluster-based, and highly available service which resulted in 80% video ingest capacity increase.
• Designed and developed real-time stream meta-data injection feature. A security feature for CDN HTTP progressive streaming service. Resulted in enhanced end to end video security and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Initiated, designed and developed system-testing framework using PHPUnit and DBUnit for PHP web services with MySQL database. Resulted in finding major database issues in the first month of writing tests. The framework is now the core part of continuous integration pipeline and contains thousands of tests.

* Designed and developed several features for latest version of ZoneAlarm Security Suite using Visual C++, STL, COM and boost libraries. Some of my contribution was development of Wireless Security feature, Location Awareness and, Status and Monitoring component.
* Solved a number of stability, performance, and networking issues by fixing bugs, design issues and refactoring of different networking components in multi-threaded user-level application and driver communication.
* Successfully used Scrum and test-driven development in several complete software development life cycles, resulted in stable, easily maintainable code with no programming bugs after release. 
* Designed and implemented multiple application wizard, unit test frameworks, development libraries, and tools.

Software Engineer

* Designed and developed DNS compression module as part of SkyWare proxy product to minimize DNS traffic and latency over satellite multi-access channel. The DNS module was developed in C++ in Unix and successfully tested in alpha release of the product and reduced the DNS traffic and latency significantly. 
* In SkyWare I had the opportunity to work closely with Prof. Norman Abramson, the inventor of Aloha protocol.
