PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, New York, NY

Senior Developer

Responsibilities:

• Designed and implemented new feature to stop traders from booking new trades / modifying existing trades for inactive books. This involved creating new constraints in the critical and core trade entry module.
• Implemented regulatory change to set correct executioner on Futures electronic trades. This also ensured that the responsible trader field was recorded correctly. This included consuming the FIX messages which were obtained from the eTradeGateway using Tibco.
• Implemented new feature to block new e-trades from being booked against inactive counter parties. The post implementation testing for this was a multi team effort, with multiple ECNs and the SDS counter party team. The counter party data was obtained using WebServices.
• Worked on a writing a new pricing feed to publish the traders’ bond levels instead of Index. This involved creating a new Tibco topic on which CATS published position and pricing data (publish / subscribe messaging model) and liaising with the downstream (Risk and Analytics) team to get it tested and signed off. It was an iterative process where initial testing revealed volumes that the downstream team was unable to process. The flow of messages was then throttled using blocking queues. (Java Collections Framework)
• Worked on multiple reports like unmatched, unapproved, unallocated trades. These reports were generated using the in-application module report engine, which provided off the shelf functionality for formatting, scheduling and dispatching the reports. The queries were involved as the users wanted summary as well as details of the said trades. Used SQL to gather the data. Had to interact with the Operations users to understand what they wanted and providing quick technical solutions to make it happen.

Senior Developer / Analyst

Responsibilities:

• Designed and implemented a flow between the firm entity master and the firm securities master to correctly identify issuers and entities to be rated based on data supplied by the big three credit agencies. This was done using the firms strategic hosted cloud platform that enables data movement using event flows. This involved calling various RESTful web-services using JSON.
• Was part of the team that was responsible for the uplift of legacy processes consuming credit rating data for entities. This uplift leveraged the firm’s strategic ETL container which is a Java library for working with batch and on demand flows. Used Core Java, GS Collections extensively. This uplift enabled the firm to consume newer formats from the vendors, and added better alerting and exception capturing for operations technology.
• Added feature toggles in the ETL processes that allowed for read only processing, producing a report of intended changes for review, as well as STP rules that allowed automated updates to data based on user supplied parameters. The read-only processing flow produced reports which were used by business to improve existing data quality.
• In an effort to minimize write access to production databases, wrote reusable shell scripts to make DB updates, including roll back provisions.
• Responsible for providing L3 support for the various strategic as well as legacy processes that come under the PPT realm. Was also responsible for establishing support processes, creating run books for the L1 team which reduced the time spent by application development team on production support.

Request Manager

Responsibilities:

• Developed EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation) related business rules, which determine if a client is EMIR eligible and compliant. New tracker items are then created which keep tabs on whether all checks have been completed and documents submitted. Implementation included using core java, collections, and drools.
• Was part of the team that worked on the high visibility FED MRIA program which had extremely strict deadlines. Worked on the part of CIP due diligence initiative which would determine true ownership. This involved talking to Regulatory users and understanding drill down percentages and complicated business rules, then building a principal tree service which would invoke business rules from a central decision server and based on the return values compute the ownership percent. It was even more challenging as several teams (UI, BDM, sever side) were working in parallel and thorough unit testing was essential to ensure a good quality product. Used Core Java, GS Collections, and JUnit (with focus on TDD).
• Designed and developed Java code to programmatically create thousands of IM Seg uplift cases which saved a lot of manual effort from business and ensured regulatory completeness.
• Improved logging in a critical service component that determined eligibility and compliance for several regulations. This effective logging single-handedly reduced time and effort spent on L3 support as we could now clearly see the flow in production.

Sr Java J2EE Developer

Responsibilities:

• Developed a new data collection for CCAR (Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review) as part of the Dodd Frank reform. The annual data collection process for CCAR was enhanced to automate the entire business process data collection flow. These enhancements reduced the processing effort from 3 months to 2 weeks. This effort involved getting the requirements from the business users, defining new transformations and validations. The implementation was done using Java, Spring, Apache Commons Chains. It also used OGNL for business validations.
• There are situations where the development team is requested to create ad-hoc scripts to delete metric data for users. Identified the fact that this does not maintain history or audit of action, which is a security concern. Designed and developed UI and backend functionality for deleting data sets. This effort involved development using Spring, JSPs and Apache Commons chains.
• Led the Performance testing effort for the Supervisory Metric Tracking System. With the on boarding of new institutions and migration of other stress tests from older systems to this, there was a need to ensure the system can handle the new load and multitask smoothly. Wrote a detailed test plan, test schedule and task allocation. Came up with various testing scenarios. Involved in running tests, co-coordinating with the SA’s and DBA’s to records important statistics like CPU, memory, long running queries etc. The outcome of this testing was uncovering performance issues and coming up with solutions for those.
