Thanks for stopping by. My name is Pratik and I’m a software engineer working in the world of energy trading.

About me

I have a varied background in technology, from building and scaling data platforms used by quants and analysts for equity, fixed-income and alternatives research, through to building low-latency distributed systems in the energy trading sector where the expectation is high availability. I even worked at a sports tech start-up building bespoke applications, working with some of the biggest sports teams and organisations around the world.

I presented a Case Study at the Gartner Data and Analytics Summit London - “What Tim Peake has for Breakfast and other Stories from the Frontier of Human Performance Analytics.”

If you found any of what I said intriguing, you can read more about about my experience.

Interests

I enjoy learning. Outside of work I spend a lot of time exploring new tools, technologies and frameworks. I am currently learning - Go and Service Mesh and exploring Apache Samza.

Other than writing code, I have a passion for travel. My girlfriend and I are always booking last-minute getaways. I also follow (and love) the NFL and spend my Sunday’s watching Red Zone.

Posts

I like to write about various aspects of technology and computer science, have a read of my posts.

I also wrote a piece on the Grafana Blog on how I leverage Grafana Cloud for my FourthDown API (an NFL play-by-play API): How the FourthDown NFL play-by-play API measures its performance with Prometheus, Jaeger, and Grafana Cloud
