Senior Software Engineer | 9+ Years Experience | C++, Real-Time Systems, FIX/MITCH

Senior Software Engineer – C++ | Real-Time & Low-Latency Systems

Experienced C++ Software Engineer with over 9 years of hands-on experience in building high-performance, low-latency systems across the fintech, telecom, and defense sectors. I specialize in real-time software development, multithreaded socket programming, and the implementation of financial protocols such as FIX and MITCH. My expertise spans both legacy and modern C++ (from C++98 to C++17), with a strong focus on cross-platform architecture (Linux and Windows), system scalability, and fault tolerance.

Key Highlights:

• Migrated a legacy MITCH market data system from Windows-only to a modern C++14 cross-platform solution using CMake and Docker, enabling deployment on both Linux and Windows environments.
• Designed and built real-time market connectivity modules for order entry and post-trade systems using FIX and MITCH protocols.
• Integrated trading systems with exchange APIs and banking infrastructure using TIBCO BusinessWorks 5 and 6.
• Developed financial simulators in C# and Python to emulate production workflows and test system behavior under various scenarios.
• Delivered multithreaded, performance-optimized SDKs and APIs for real-time routing, configuration sync, and analytics pipelines.
• Contributed to scalable software architecture using UML and C4 design models, with attention to SOLID principles and maintainability.

Tools & Technologies:

C++98–17, Python, C#, Oracle, CMake, Docker, TCP/UDP Sockets, FIX, MITCH, PL/SQL, GTest, Jenkins, Git, Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, Swagger/OpenAPI, Protobuf, TIBCO BW5/BW6, AWS (EC2, S3, CloudWatch), Visual Studio, Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS), Windows Server 2019 I am passionate about building mission-critical software systems that power real-time decision-making, especially in capital markets, telecom infrastructure, and simulation-based defense environments. I bring deep technical problem-solving skills and a strong sense of ownership, and I thrive in collaborative, agile-driven teams that value continuous improvement and delivery excellence.
