Vishwak Thatikonda is a Lead Full-Stack Developer at SDH Systems specializing in high-resilience, mission-critical systems. Known for building complex platforms from the ground up, his work ranges from contributing to ground-segment software for the Mastcam-Z instrument on NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover to architecting the master data platform for a Fortune 500 global retail enterprise with tens of thousands of locations, a foundational layer for its next-generation point-of-sale system.

A technical pioneer in both the startup and enterprise worlds, Vishwak was the founding full-stack engineer at AirWorks, an MIT-born GeoAI company, where he built the platform from zero through its $7.9M Series A. He has led industry-first credit and banking initiatives serving 18 million users and directed blockchain-logistics pilots for UPS. Vishwak bridges the gap between deep-tech research and large-scale production reality. His latest open-source project, LambdaForge, is a serverless algorithmic trading engine built on AWS Lambda and EventBridge that empowers engineers to run professional-grade financial automation with near-zero operational overhead.

The $0.15/month Algo-Trader: Architecting High-Performance Serverless Trading Engines

In the high-stakes world of algorithmic trading, infrastructure costs and execution latency are the primary enemies of alpha. But what if you could run a production-grade, event-driven trading engine for less than the cost of a cup of coffee per year?
This session explores the architectural blueprint of LambdaForge, an open-source trading platform built entirely on a serverless stack. We will break down how to orchestrate Python microservices, AWS Lambda, and EventBridge to handle real-time market data and execute high-stakes trades with sub-second latency, all while maintaining an operational cost of ~$0.15/month.
