EXPERIENCE:

Senior Java Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Continue to work with Front Office Development team on Java listener processes capturing and processing transaction data across multiple asset classes from ISVs (TT, Sungard GL, Fidessa, Ullink) and making this data available to downstream systems. Wrote listeners to consume FIX from Fidessa for the Ruby project which is a mission critical migration by the business lines from Sungard GL onto the Fidessa Trading platform and process the data into a normalized database and make data available to downstream systems. Provide 3rd level support to the business lines for a suite of applications including working with internal Traders and Account Executives directly to resolve their issues in a timely manner. Worked with Trade Mitigation and Prime Brokerage teams to provide reports for early detection of rejected orders. Provide reports and data extracts to Compliance teams for regulatory purposes. Wrote Unix shell scripts to regression test changes to listener processes by extracting production data processing it thru each release and comparing the end result, performance, latency etc.
• Working with the front office trade capture group on a series of applications that capture incoming orders and fills data for trades and consolidate it into a relational database for reporting. Applications poll from Oracle database tables or read from MQ Series message queues, validate and normalize the trade data and write it into a consolidated database schema using Hibernate. Systems are deployed either as web applications running in Tomcat 5 or standalone Java applications. Asset classes include Future, Future Option, Equity Option and FX. Increase parallelization of existing application thru introduction of a framework based on java.util.concurrent that allows higher CPU utilitization by increasing the number of active threads processing transactions. Devised a scheme to allow mutiple instances of the same listener to further increase throughput. Development is done on a Linux Ubuntu desktop.
