Anant Agarwal is a highly skilled and experienced Senior Software Engineer at Google with a proven track record of building software and making a significant impact. He possesses expertise in professional software engineering practices and the full software development life cycle, including architecture design, coding standards, version control, code reviews, testing, release, and monitoring. Anant is enthusiastic about learning new technologies and incorporating them into his work to create the next impactful platform. He has worked with various technologies and tools and is proficient in Software Engineering, CI/CD, testing, Search, and Python. Before joining Google, Anant worked as a Software Engineer at Goldman Sachs, where he contributed significantly to the development of Marquee, the digital storefront of GS, and SIMON, the marketplace for structured notes. He created REST APIs and Python SDK for exposing GS proprietary Financial Risk Models as a service to the external world. He also launched the 'related search queries' feature on GS search by extracting themes from articles using unsupervised Topic Modelling. Anant built a data processing framework using Apache Beam with Flink runners to transform, analyze, and ingest data for GS search. He created and deployed GS search APIs, including architecture design and setting up CI/CD, hosts, and a secure handshake, etc. Anant's contributions to SIMON were equally impressive. He analyzed all variations of Structured Products traded across the street and created a standardization by breaking them into atomic mathematical features that can be combined to represent arbitrary payoffs. He launched a framework that forms the backbone of simon.io, allowing the representation of all payoffs by combining atomic features. He created APIs for product representation and offering management and onboarded and integrated all major banks on the platform. Anant drove platform growth by analyzing advisor trade activity data and detecting advisors that are highly likely to sign up. Anant holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli. He completed his 12th Grade (ICSE Board) and 10th Grade from City Montessori School. Overall, Anant has 9.11 years of relevant experience in software engineering and has demonstrated his ability to build impactful platforms and make a significant impact in his field.
