About Mitendra Anand

Senior Director and Trading India Lead at BlackRock, I own product engineering for Aladdin’s Order and Execution Management Systems, delivering enterprise trading solutions across asset classes on a single global platform. With 18+ years in capital markets, I build cloud‑native, high‑performance systems with a bias toward resilient, low‑latency services in production.My core stack spans Azure, Java (Spring), C++17/20, Go, Node.js, and Linux—containerized on Docker, orchestrated via Kubernetes, and hardened with service‑mesh patterns and SRE principles. I design event‑driven microservices over gRPC/REST backed by MongoDB, Redis, and RDBMS tiers, engineered for HA, multi‑region deployment, and zero‑downtime releases via CI/CD and GitOps. I stay deeply hands‑on: architecting, coding, profiling, and tuning concurrency/memory models to meet stringent throughput and latency targets.Previously, I led Aladdin Foresight in India—an orchestration and workflow platform enabling regulatory compliance, balance‑sheet analytics, forecasting, and model‑driven SaaS extensions. In Trading, I drive the roadmap and architecture for OMS/EMS and front‑to‑back workflows, aligning scale, performance, and reliability with enterprise governance. I embed operational excellence through automated testing, observability (metrics/logs/traces), security‑by‑design, and robust release engineering.I champion API‑first and data‑as‑a‑product practices to unlock analytics and actionable insights across institutional and insurance workflows. Experience at Citadel, Sapient, and ABB shaped my approach to mentoring teams, raising the engineering bar, and shipping platforms that perform at global scale. Rooted in principles—clarity, ownership, empathy—I cultivate connected, inclusive teams so our systems and our people scale with confidence.Focus areas: OMS/EMS, low‑latency trading, event‑driven microservices, Kubernetes/SRE, gRPC/REST APIs, CI/CD & GitOps, observability, security‑by‑design.
