Building Entra ID’s distributed storage infrastructure, including global replication and high‑availability identity services.
Adithya Bellamkonda
I study Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, with minors in Economics and Business. I care about software engineering, algorithms, and applying ML to real problems— especially in finance—often where graph theory, quantitative modeling, and efficient data systems meet. Outside of work: reading, electric guitar, pool, table tennis, and cooking experiments.
EXPERIENCE
Deep learning for tumor detection and segmentation, advised by Professor Zongwei Zhou.
Cut tick-to-trade latency 33% (180μs→120μs) and raised throughput 2.5× to 1M msgs/sec. Built P&L attribution tracking $10M+ daily volume across 500+ instruments with <10ms latency. Built FPGA-accelerated order book parsing in Verilog/VHDL.
Shipped combat systems supporting 1,000+ concurrent users with sub-100ms latency. Improved player synchronization via a custom RPC networking stack. Launched live gameplay features driving +20% daily active users.
Researched and validated 15+ systematic alphas across equities and ETFs. Built a backtesting and data pipeline, reducing research turnaround time by ~4×. Implemented purged cross-validation and walk-forward testing, cutting out-of-sample decay by 35%.
Reduced message latency 3× (150ms→50ms) with gRPC pipelines for 1M+ daily events. Improved HPC simulation speed 35% with real-time C/C++ execution engines. Cut Linux build times 25% by automating Bash/CMake pipelines and dependency caching.
Scaled microservice throughput 45% with Java/Python services handling 12,000+ daily API calls. Accelerated database performance 2.8× by optimizing 60+ complex SQL queries. Led a React-Redux feature that increased user engagement by 20%.
