Haard
Solanki.

Systems engineer orchestrating architectures end-to-end. Trading infra at WhiteBeard AI by day, agentic products at Elcara on the side. Whatever the system needs — Rust, C++, Go, TypeScript, Solidity. Mostly running on coffee & commit messages.

From the Editor Apr · 2026 / Q2

This issue: orderbooks, agentic systems, and a market maker written in C++. The trophy shelf is mostly under-25 hackathon hardware, the résumé sits on page 06, and the contact line is open until the inbox catches fire. Read top to bottom — or skip around. The table of contents is your map.

coffee > sleep
ship > perfect

I write whatever the system actually needs — Rust when latency matters, C++ when MT5 says so, TypeScript when shipping fast wins, Solidity when the hackathon clock is at hour 47. Two engineering jobs in parallel because shipping is the most fun thing on the internet, and most of what I build runs behind closed doors. The rest is on GitHub. Still very much just getting started.

What are you building?

Always down to talk trading systems, AI infra, weird hackathon ideas, or a contract that pays in commits. The faster the system, the rarer the language, the better. I read every email — even if it takes me a day to reply.
