Tathagata Dasgupta (T) loves building things. As an Engineering Manager and Senior Site Reliability Engineer in the Low Latency Group at London Stock Exchange Group, he focuses on making every line of code’s journey to production fast and reliable. Whether building pipelines for autonomous driving or large-scale financial systems, he has come to accept that Python is the second-best language for everything. Beyond the keyboard, T is passionate about building tech communities, mentoring engineers, and designing hands-on workshops. When he’s not building or managing, you’ll find him losing high-stakes wrestling matches to a five-year-old or hauling overweight luggage through last-minute airport sprints across unlikely travel destinations.
