Background

About Aalap Dave

I’m a final year B.Tech student specializing in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus on Data Science, passionate about uncovering insights from data to drive informed decisions—particularly in the financial and business domains. In my internship at 5paisa Capital, I am working on enhancing trading API features and backend systems by contributing to Business Requirement Documents (BRDs), API design, and testing. I collaborate with product and engineering teams to improve API reliability, reduce order failure rates, and support partner integrations. My projects reflect a strong foundation in product thinking, trading systems, and API workflows, including multi-leg options execution and GTT feature validation. During my internship at Margosatree Technologies, I worked on backtesting trading strategies, analyzing stock trends using Python and SQL, and visualizing insights with Power BI. My projects reflect a strong foundation in both data analytics and quantitative research, including stock market forecasting, supply chain time series modelling, and real-time data pipelines. With hands-on experience in tools like Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn), SQL, Excel, Tableau, and Power BI, I bridge the gap between data and decision-making. My interests lie in financial data analysis, and building models that turn raw data into actionable investment and business strategies. Beyond academics, I actively lead and contribute to campus organizations—managing marketing for the college drone team and organized Model United Nations events as Deputy Secretary General.
