Hemant Kumar Gehlot
Software Development Engineer and Applied Mathematics student with experience in mobile observability platforms, quantitative research, and social network analysis. Proven track record in building SDKs from scratch, developing alpha trading models, and applying rigorous mathematical metrics to complex systems.
Experience
SDE-1 — Mobile Platform
Dream11
Mumbai, India
Pulse — Mobile Observability Platform (SaaS): Built the Pulse React Native SDK from scratch, powering 3 production integrations and 20M+ daily signals. Contributed to edge-computing architecture reducing costs by $400K/month.
Developed cross-platform crash deobfuscation pipeline and improved RCA pipeline using covariance models. AI, Release & Client Delivery: Built Pulse integration skill reducing setup time to 15 minutes. Led production integrations for Souled Store, Fleek, and Fancode.
Research Intern
Australian National University (ANU)
Canberra, Australia
Perception Gap in Social Networks (Publication): Identified structural flaws in classic opinion divergence metrics. Designed the 'Perception Gap' metric using advanced linear algebra and tested on Stochastic Block Models. Provided formal proof for the NP-hardness of minimizing the perception gap via strategic edge addition.
