About

Sarthak Singhal is a highly skilled Software Engineer at Tower Research Capital, with a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. With over 2 years of relevant experience, he has a strong background in software engineering, research, and machine learning. In his current role at Tower Research, Sarthak is responsible for designing and developing software solutions to support the company's trading strategies. He is a key member of the team, contributing to the development of high-performance, low-latency trading systems that are critical to the company's success. Prior to joining Tower Research, Sarthak completed a summer internship at The D. E. Shaw Group, where he built an attachment prediction system for the internal ticketing management system, DESFlow. He experimented with various keyword-based and ML-based algorithms and built a machine learning model using the combination of Naïve Bayes and Graham’s algorithm, achieving 90% precision, 59% recall, and 90% accuracy. He also improved the Graham’s algorithm and employed a normalized keyword approach on top of the machine learning model to improve the recall to 67% and precision to 91%. He extended the solution to handle similar use cases like setting the due date and closing the request and added support for active learning for the model to evolve over time. Sarthak has also been a Google Summer of Code 2019 participant at Boost, where he integrated Boost.Units with the existing base coordinate system and restructured all the classes to make them compatible with Boost.Units to provide a robust astronomical coordinate system. He also created a parser for binary table extension and ASCII table extension for the FITS File system and wrote unit tests using the Boost Unit Test framework. Sarthak's technical skills include software engineering, research, machine learning, and testing. He is a highly motivated individual with excellent problem-solving skills and a strong work ethic. He is passionate about technology and enjoys working on challenging projects that require innovative solutions.
