PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, New York, NY

Sr. Core Java Developer

Responsibilities:

• Senior Core Java Developer working on equities trading systems. These are high-throughput/low latency systems that require optimal design to succeed in their mission.
• Working as a technical lead on the IOI (Indication Of Interest) system which is currently used by more than 150 Traders and users to send out IOI messages to solicit business.
• Designed and developed a multithreaded core-Java based Market data system that sources market data from Reuters. This system uses many of the concurrent programming facilities provided by the Java API.
• Plays a leading role in future evolution/design of the IOI (Indication of Interest) application which requires gathering new requirements from the users, documenting and implementing them.
• Worked on designing and developing a Fidessa (Trading system) to AMPS gateway for connecting the trading system to AMPS in order to accept order flow and send back executions. This system required extensive multithreading and synchronization and runs within the Fidessa environment. It also accounts for any part of system going down and coming up again.
• Responsible for Server side development using Core Java, Multi-Threading, JMS, FIX and Tibco with LINUX as the OS. The backend databases are Oracle and Sybase.
• Responsible for client side design and development using Java swing.
• Plays a key role in the management of data and dataflow through the various systems that need to work in tandem for the whole echo system of apps to succeed.
• Working on a new state of the art framework being designed in Java to replace current systems that no longer meet the stringent requirements of latency and performance.

Environment: Core Java, R, Scala, JMS, Swing, FIX, Tibco, Shell Scripting, Unix, Sybase.

Confidential, New York, NY

Sr. Core Java Developer

Responsibilities:

• Senior Core Java Developer in the Munis/CCC Space.
• Responsible for all server side design and development using Core Java, Spring, Oracle BPM, JPA/Hibernate on UNIX/Weblogic.
• Responsible for developing and maintaining all data feeds from various product processors and data providers using Autosys jobs and UNIX shell scripts that wrap BCP and Java logic. Implemented a novel Drop box concept on Unix that enables processing of new files without changes to code by using convention over configuration philosophy.
• Successfully coordinated the migration all application and data feeds to new UNIX servers.
• Developed workflows using Oracle BPM (Business Process Management) that are seamlessly integrated into the application using RMI callbacks.

Environment: Core Java, BPM, XML, Spring, Shell Scripting, SQL Server, Oracle

Sr. Core Java Developer/ Architect

Responsibilities:

• Senior Core Java Developer/Architect in the Equity Analytics/Market Data space.
• Responsible for implementing a services hosting platform that uses Tibco based messaging coupled with Java Multi-threading and Spring.
• Architected/developed core framework and analytic services that run on the framework. The framework uses XML payloads on Tibco as the communications protocol.
• Used Tibco queue for providing redundancy and fault-tolerance. The services hosted on this platform include liquidity, cross-reference, Risk, Factor model etc.
• Worked on a web interface to convert between HTTP and Tibco so that external web clients can connect without using Tibco.
• Developed a Java and C++ client API that uses REST as an interface to the HTTP-to-Tibco interface.
• Wrote Shell Scripts for automation of development tasks.

Environment: Core Java, Tibco, Multithreading, XML, Spring, Shell Scripting

Architect/Developer

Responsibilities:

• Project Lead/Senior Developer for the third largest Equities exchange in the US that trades Over the Counter (OTC) products.
• Developed a range of systems including the Core Exchange, Quotation System, Outgoing Market data feeds, loading/testing tools unique to the low-latency environment typical of modern day trading systems, exchanges and Market Data feeds.
• Responsible for implementing the Market Data feed, consisting of trade, quote and reference data, using FIX enabled TCM engine from NYSE as the container.
• Developed business logic for creating price-level quotes, insides, and aggregate feeds. The internal messaging is primarily TIBCO based. The outgoing feeds are UDP multicast which are split using multicast routers.
• Developed a unique TIBCO to DB mapping tool which enabled TIBCO messages to be persisted directly to a database using XML mappings similar to O/R mapping tools like Hibernate. This frees low-latency applications from the burden of persisting to a slow RDBMS.
• Developed a load testing tool that simulates variable amounts of load on the quotation engine using sophisticated ramping algorithms that allow PWM (pulse-width-modulated) type ramping functionality for generating TIBCO packets as input to the system.
