EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

Senior Quantitative C++ Developer

Responsibilities:

• For the Confidential Architecture Team, for C++ application called FELIX (Financial Engineering Library for Interest rates and Exotics), writing C++11 multi-threaded cache-friendly faster solutions of matrix calculations of Covariance/Correlation, root-finding and objective function solvers, JacovianSolver for calibrations, Improved Newton-Raphson Root-Finding method with Broyden Update and Improved Quasi-Monte Carlo Method with SOBOL low discrepancy quasi-random sequences.
• Writing a C++ library to expose SOLACE C API in Python on both Windows and LINUX.
• Wrote a C++ source code analysis package for FELIX running on the DataSynapse GRID to find ways to improve performance to meet FRTB reporting requirements which required order of magnitude performance improvement. I implemented a C++ 11 ultra-low-latency (timer event cycle < 50 nanoseconds & info event cycle < 200 nanoseconds), high throughput (a few hundred millions events per run written 250K/sec with multithreaded thread pooled writers) self-compensating 10000+ lines long library, output analysis and session management tool s.
• Analyzed Inflation, Interest Rate Analytic and Monte Carlo based multi-curve models, namely, Affine Yield Curve Term-Structure Model - Linear Gaussian Model, IR Inflation SABR, FX VannaVolga, Equity-interest Rate Hybrid Gausssian Copula Model, FX Local Stochastic Volatility and Libor Market Model with Smile. Identified some 120 functions accounted for 99+% of the execution time. Made recommendation to offload and later just lookup (to gain at least 200% performance improvements) data-centric model independent calculations like discount factor, Yield/Credit Curve generation/shocking, Volatility Surface construction/calibration, correlation and covariance calculations etc. which currently are run by many calculation task instances on the GRID, with duplication of effort and throw away results without any reuse among GRID tasks. 100,000+ FELIX calculation tasks, from xml and database input, creates Models, calibrates, runs PV and risk valuations for vanilla, american and bermudan exotic options for Interest Rate, and FX products. Instrumentation covered 99% of FEILIX of 100+ projects with over half-million lines of codes which build into 200+dlls on Windows and ran in a 400+ windows server 2012 engines DataSynapse grid.

Internal Tech. Audit

Responsibilities:

• Designed and implemented “Credit Risk Aggregation and Netting” model to reconcile against existing production system.
• Collateralized Potential Exposure (CPE), expected positive exposure ( Confidential ), effective expected positive exposure ( Confidential ) for collateralized margined equity and derivative contracts and credit value adjustment (CVA) for non-collateralized contracts.
• The framework uses simulated prices, samples production securities and calculates exposures, for number of time-points under various netting and margining agreements.
• Matched numbers with production system with less than 0.5% error.
• The system runs on Linux and SecDB daily under three hours.
• To re-perform Confidential Stress Test scenario generation from Global Market Shocks (GMS), wrote an independent C++ 11 (multi-threaded, smart pointer heavy and template rich) & SecDB application to consume GMS shocks, rule configs and scenario containers for all asset-classes and generate reconcile scenarios with production scenarios and publishes cvs reports.
• The goal was to provide reproducible visibility into the production Confidential scenario generation process.
• To evaluate Pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) calculations under Confidential and CCAR reporting process, wrote an independent C++ 11 (multi-threaded, smart pointer heavy and template rich), SecDB Linux-based application.
• This application sources various input from stored containers and through APIs of BAU systems in various business lines and re-produces production numbers identically.
