About Gurparshad B.

Experienced C++ Developer with more than 5 years of expertise in building high-performance, low-latency connectivity gateways for financial trading systems, with experience in both FIX and non-FIX protocols. At BTCS India, my core responsibility has been the design and implementation of backend components for handling various exchange and broker protocols, session management, message generation, message handling, and data normalization. I’ve worked extensively with modern C++(11/14/17), STL, and multithreading, with a strong focus on performance, robustness, and clean software architecture. In addition to core gateway development, I contributed to internal automation tools for application deployment, test execution, and system validation, supporting end-to-end QA and CI workflows. Technical Areas- C++(11/14/17), STL, Boost, memory management, multithreading - FIX protocol, custom TCP/UDP-based non-FIX protocols - Linux systems, GTest, GMock, Git - Strong debugging, profiling, and system analysis skills - Python, Shell, Awk, Perl scripting for automation of internal day to day workflows - Experienced with Bamboo, Stash, Jira, and Confluence

   Transition completed to full-time C++ code development for connectivity gateways2. Worked on new implementations in the below gateways: Borsa Istanbul - New FIX gateway - InstrumentReferenceData, TradingReferenceData, Quoting, and Trading flows implemented Bloomberg IOI - Major improvements were made to the existing flow in the FIX gateway to fix the issues encountered in production Ullink - New feature to support conditional orders introduced in the existing FIX gateway. Got exposure to Ullink dashboard for developing and testing the support for conditional orders Vorvel Certificates and Vorvel Equities - New FIX gateway - Market Data, Instrument Reference Data, TradingReferenceData, RFQ, Trading, Indicative Quoting flows implemented London Stock Exchange (LSE)- New FIX gateway - Quoting flow implemented for LSE LSEG FX - Simple Binary Encoding protocol (SBE)- MarketData, InstrumentReferenceData, TradingReferenceData flows implemented from scratch for the new protocol Budapest Derivatives - Migration from the exchange native K2 protocol to the implementation in the FIX protocol3. Made improvements and bug fixes to the generic FIX gateways flow and the Tbricks frameworks used by FIX gateways4. Participated in the implementation of the RSP solution in Tbricks by testing with various RFQ apps, Ullink plugins, Tbricks gateways, and suggesting and making changes where required in the implementation5. Made improvements in the Perl scripts for automatic code generation of getters and setters for SBE protocol messages6. Created various other shell, Python, and awk scripts for FIX logs analysis, large file manipulation, migration of instruments from one system to another, upgrading systems, performing daily health checks for the UNIX servers, and automating the sending out of emails to designated members7. Conducted a three-month training program for fresh joiners
