Highly Motivated, Eager Learner

I am a Software Engineer, living in Mumbai and working at BlackRock. Here’s my story:

After graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering from Pune University in 2017, I joined Xoriant, where I had the opportunity to work with Morgan Stanley as a consultant. During my time at Morgan Stanley, I worked as a full-stack engineer, building web applications using Angular and Java. After a little over two years, I decided to leave the consulting role and join a company as a full-time employee.

In October 2019, I joined BlackRock, working with the FutureAdvisor team—a robo-trading startup acquired by BlackRock. My experience at Morgan Stanley gave me a solid foundation in the financial domain, and my eagerness to learn helped me quickly adapt to a new technology stack: Ruby on Rails. I also picked up Kotlin and React, and gained experience working with AWS Cloud. At BlackRock, I’ve worked with multiple teams in the Wealth Management domain. These days, I primarily focus on building Java-based microservices and APIs for an application that is used to run portfolio analysis at scale.

In the past, I’ve supported the technical team of an NGO called UPAY, which works to provide quality education to children from underserved communities across various states in India.

When I’m not working, I enjoy discovering cafes in Mumbai that serve the tastiest food. Want to get in touch? Here’s my email: piyushranjan95@gmail.com
