Software Engineer

Confidential, Chicago, IL

Responsibilities:

• Developed a WPF application that provides the Compliance team with various tools to assist them with their day-to-day tasks. Some of these tools were previously written in VB 6.0 and have been rewritten as WPF user controls and merged with this application.
• The application gets all of its data from a WCF service which I also developed.
• The WCF service is hosted in IIS and uses Log4Net for logging.
• Designed and developed a Trade Reconciliation system that finds matches between thousands of trade messages from two different systems.
• The system was designed to be generic and is configuration-based so that it can match messages from any two systems just by adjusting the configuration settings. It uses ILog’s JRules for the matching engine, Java for the server, .Net WinForms for the client and Sybase for the database.
• Developed adapters to assist in the processing of trading compliance requests and corporate actions.
• The adapters processed both soap requests and requests placed on an IBM MQ. Java and JAXB were used to create the adapter.
• Solely responsible for the design and architecture of a .Net 2.0 Windows application development framework based on Microsoft’s Composite Application Block (CAB).
• The framework provides a RAD environment to give developers a base MDI application along with a library of smart forms and smart parts to build their applications with.
• The smart parts have the ability to publish and subscribe to events from other smart parts via the CAB infrastructure.
• The framework provides the benefits of CAB without the complexity.
• Developed a plug-in for Eclipse which allows developers to create a new SOAP service project. In addition, the plug-in allows the developer to add web service classes to the project, perform an Ant build, and call into supporting java code to package, deploy, and un-deploy the project.
• Designed and developed an ASP.Net application to query and update software “turnovers” (change control) for the department.
• The web application provided advanced filtering capabilities, multiple views for the data, update ability, and was hosted within a SharePoint WSS site.
• A second phase of the project required the creation of a batch process that could query a relational database, save the results to an Excel file in memory, and upload the Excel file to a SharePoint Document Library.
• Designed and developed an ASP.Net 2.0 application which aids in the gathering and reporting of project management data.
• The web site provides a central area that project managers can input the status and progress on ongoing applications within the department.
• The reporting piece was developed by an off-site team and provides real-time summary and detail reports for upper management.
• ASP.Net master pages were used throughout the site to foster reuse and speed development.
• Technologies used included ASP.Net 2.0, Sybase, and C#.
