Hi, I'm Vinayak Asati

Backend Software Engineer · Trading & FinTech Systems

I design and build latency-sensitive backend systems where correctness, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable.
Most of my work lives at the intersection of real-time data, distributed services, and trading infrastructure.

About Me

I’m a Backend Software Engineer with hands-on experience building real-time trading and exchange infrastructure, where latency, throughput, and reliability are critical.
My work includes designing and maintaining order execution flows, integrating with centralized and decentralized exchanges, building market data pipelines, and implementing CI/CD-driven validation for trading systems.
I primarily work with C++ and Python, and focus on creating systems with clean abstractions and strong testability.

  • Bachelor’s in Information Technology from MITS, Gwalior - CGPA: 8.3

  • AWS Cloud Technical Essentials - foundational knowledge of cloud concepts and AWS services View Certificate

  • CodeKaze 2023 - Secured college rank #51

  • Secured Global Rank 153 in Starters 107 (CodeChef)

  • Core Team Member - CodeChef MITS Chapter & Asimov Robotics Club

  • Team Lead - CodeHunt, a coding + treasure hunt event organized at Asimov


Outside of engineering, I enjoy traveling & photography, which help me observe details and tell meaningful stories.
I’m also passionate about football - and have been a national level player as well.

Experience

GoQuant - Backend Developer Nov, 2024 - Nov, 2025

  • Built and maintained 10+ backend trading gateways for major crypto exchanges, enabling real-time order execution and portfolio synchronization.

  • Designed and implemented exchange integration layers and backend services supporting decentralized and institutional trading platforms.

  • Lead instructor for engineering bootcamps, mentoring participants on trading systems, exchange integrations, and backend architecture; top performers were recruited into the core engineering team.

  • Migrated the Order Execution Management System from C++ to Python, achieving significantly better performance while improving maintainability and test coverage.

  • Built automated integration test suites for exchange APIs, trading algorithms, and OTC workflows (RFS/RFQ), integrated into GitHub CI/CD pipelines for pre-merge validation.

  • Implemented market data endpoints aggregating real-time metrics across exchanges, supporting frontend dashboards and backend trading strategies.

  • Authored internal technical documentation to streamline onboarding and improve operational clarity for algorithmic trading teams.

Persistent Systems - Intern Jul, 2023 - Sep, 2023

  • Gained hands-on experience in Data Structures & Algorithms, SQL-based Database Management Systems, and Object-Oriented Programming.

  • Applied DSA to optimize problem-solving efficiency, improved SQL query performance, and developed reusable, object-oriented project solutions.

My Recent Work

Some of my Projects

PulseX

    Features:

  • Unified REST and WebSocket API server for algorithmic trading across multiple crypto exchanges.
  • Supports login, order placement, modification, cancellation, and real-time status updates.
  • Includes advanced trading algorithms such as Market, Limit, Edge variants, TWAP/VWAP, and Liquidate-All.
