About Kushal B.

I’m a software engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-performance trading systems and scalable applications across investment banking, e-commerce, and IT services. At Morgan Stanley, I develop and enhance OTC derivatives trading platforms used by Traders, Sales, and Strats for trading vanilla derivatives and exotic products— driving front-office efficiency in fast-moving markets. Previously, at Rakuten, I grew from Application Engineer to Assistant Manager, leading development of web applications serving 6M+ daily users. I began my career at NTT DATA, where I contributed to diverse projects using Java, Haskell, and VBA. During this time, I also learned Japanese language and successfully passed the JLPT N3 certification, which strengthened my ability to collaborate in cross-cultural teams and Japan-based projects. Core Skills: • Software Development (SDLC) • Trading & Financial Applications • API Development (REST, SOAP) • Java, MySQL, Shell Scripting • Batch Processing & Scheduling (System Walker, crontab) • Business Intelligence (DOMO)
