SDE-2 @ Angel One · Mumbai, India

Hi, I'm Arshil Khan.

>

I build high-throughput backend systems: real-time market data, data platforms and APIs that serve 500K+ requests/sec. Over 6 years at Angel One and Innovaccer, mostly in Go, Python and Java on AWS.

About me

I'm a backend engineer at Angel One, India's third-largest stock broker, where I'm a core member of the Charts team. I work on the systems behind real-time market data and charts: streaming consumers, data workflows and the APIs that serve them.

Before that I was on the Data Platform team at Innovaccer. I migrated legacy healthcare data pipelines for 500+ providers with 100% data integrity, and built a query-conversion tool that translates between database DSLs.

Outside work I build and ship my own products. My Android apps have 200K+ installs, and I'm building DailyJobs.ai, a job-search autofill and tracker. I started out in open source with FOSSASIA and competitive programming at Jamia Millia Islamia.
