# Akash Mittal > Software Engineer at Meta Location: London, England, United Kingdom Profile: https://flows.cv/akashmittal I'm currently working as a Software Engineer at Meta within the WhatsApp Privacy Infrastructure team. Prior to this I was working at Bloomberg within the Multi Asset Risk System Pricing team where I primarily used C++ to improve the computation of the greek engine platform. I was involved in internal technical projects such as improving our build times and modernising the tech stack. I completed my MSc in Financial Engineering from Imperial College London. My favourite modules included- Financial Engineering, Machine Learning, Big Data, Credit Risk and Applied Trading Strategies. I come from a technical background and graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with Computer Science as my major. Intellectually curious and open-minded, with a quantitative mindset and extensive leadership exposure, I'm constantly finding ways to upscale myself, and have taken an interest in the Cloud Computing and the more advanced Data Structures space lately. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Meta Jan 2025 – Present | London Area, United Kingdom ### Senior Software Engineer @ Bloomberg Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | London Area, United Kingdom ### Software Engineer @ Bloomberg Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | London, England, United Kingdom C++ Software Engineer working in the Multi Asset Risk Pricing team ### Global Data Analyst @ Bloomberg Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | London, United Kingdom Part of the Economics team within the Global Markets division at Bloomberg -
