Tilak Vignesh Mekala
Backend & Data Engineer · Bengaluru, India
Backend & data engineer working at the intersection of software and markets. I build the real-time data infrastructure that systematic trading desks run on — market data pipelines, portfolio analytics, low-latency systems. I'm interested in quant finance and where it meets modern engineering: fast data, distributed systems, and the tooling that lets small teams operate like much larger ones.
