About

Javed Shakeel is a highly skilled Principal Engineer with over 11 years of experience in software and FPGA development. He is currently working for a startup in algorithmic trading as a Principal Software Engineer, where he has architected a High Frequency Trading platform to trade on various Indian and international exchanges. Javed's expertise lies in low latency packet processing, software optimization, FPGA, and Linux. He has worked on the development of software for a high-performance networking device, mostly in the L2/L3 protocol domain (TCP/IP, IPv6, ARP, etc.), as well as the core infrastructure of the product. Javed has also architected an FPGA-based HFT platform for trading on CME, reducing tick-to-trade latency to less than 1us. He started with initial exploration and feasibility and established a complete team to develop the FPGA-based solution. He has developed a very low latency tick-by-tick reader for CME FIX/FAST Incremental Feed and modified it for SBEFix, reducing per-packet processing latency by a factor of 95%. In addition, Javed has developed a market data archival system that enabled analysis and backtesting with historical data across exchanges. He is proficient in C/C++, TCP/IP, and various other relevant technologies. Javed Shakeel is a highly motivated and dedicated professional who has proven his skills in developing low latency high-frequency trading platforms. He is a valuable asset to any organization that is looking for a talented engineer with a passion for developing cutting-edge technology.
