Hey there!

I'm Harshit Raj, a Systems Engineer building low-latency trading systems at Quadeye Securities. In my role, I'm constantly looking for the best (or next best) solution to seemingly impossible tasks. This keeps me on edge and, honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m passionate about learning new things and always eager to tackle unique challenges.

I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. During my undergraduate years, I focused on understanding and appreciating the intricacies of computer systems. My main areas of interest include operating systems, Linux kernel, computer architecture, compilers, and distributed systems.

I'm either super confident about something, or I'm having an existential crisis. There's no in-between. I appreciate the open-source community, and I try to contribute whenever I can.

Apart from work, I enjoy listening to music, watching anime, and playing badminton. I also love to travel and explore new places and cuisines. I'm always up for a good conversation, so feel free to shoot an email if you want to chat about anything!

Ps. Blog/project/work/CV sections will be updated soon.
