AVP Credit Risk

Responsibilities:

Developed a Monte Carlo simulation program that defined the maximum potential exposure (MPE) used by the business analysts, quants and the trade desk. Wrote pricing classes that priced FX Options and Forwards including the exotics (Barriers and Digitals).
Reduced failures by 500% and decreased maintenance efforts by designing a new market data gathering mechanism. Using TIBCO as a messaging agent, created a service that allowed market data to be retrieved at any point of the scenario path as well as the ability to dump a whole scenario path.
Reduced development costs by 50% by writing XML schemas that defined business data structures. This enabled the company to outsource the majority of the front - end work. XML acted as the interface between the middle tier and the front end.
Decreased simulation run time from 2 days to 4 hours by developing a distributed application utility. This allowed the simulation program to be scaled by running on many servers simultaneously. Communications between the distributed app and the individual servers were done over TCP/IP.
