Role: Technical Lead/Architect

• Project Description: This project is an engagement between Infosys and the FICC team of UBS for the development and maintenance of various applications under the umbrella of Fixed Income Cash and Currency department. Prion application is used by all the trade capture applications to access the database in a uniform fashion. All the derivatives trades are stored in OBS database. There are more than 70 client applications which use Prion application which is part of OBS. This is the most important application and any downtime to it causes loss of money to client.
• Prion can be accessed by clients using soap based web service or by using legacy corba interface. All new clients are recommended to use soap. Interface exposed allows creation and maintenance of deals, curves and querying of same. Over the years my key focus has been to move away from legacy single threaded db access framework to hibernate to allow multithreading without affecting all clients using the web service. I was involved in development of new framework allowing this migration. There were many regulatory time critical enhancements needed wherein innovative planning and development strategies were needed. I was key contributor for such decision making and planning.

Environment: Core Java, Spring-Core, Spring-Integration, Spring-AOP, JMS, SOAP Webservices, JNDI, Tomcat, Sybase 12.5 and Sybase 15.0

Responsibilities:

• Working as global application and technical lead with team presence in Singapore, India, UK and USA from multiple vendors. I was leading team of 15 members.
• Enhanced soap based web service for performance and handling of non ASCII characters.
• Sybase database table design and creation of mapping data used by application.
• Creation of autosys batch jobs to schedule processes.
• Development of UNIX shell scripts to trigger java processes.
• Creation of java based utilities to facilitate automatic amendment of trades.
• Creating we service client application code for soap based webservice.
• Creating junit test cases for existing applications.
• Planning, execution and delivery of requirements.
• Involved in key technical, design and development decision makings
• Impact Analysis and development of the applications for regulatory and business needed changes.
• Coordination with QA, UAT testing teams, support team for Prod release and production support.
• Team mentoring and training.
• SLA data capturing and reporting.
• Status reporting.
• Drafting of high-level design document to cover activity diagrams, component diagrams, deployment diagrams, class diagrams.
• Extensively involved in proof-of-concept to check the feasibility of changes.

Role: Technical Lead/Architect

• Project Description: Confidential, multiple trades capture and risk management systems used to have different nomenclature. This project was started to achieve common nomenclature across the bank. Central common definition of products was defined and then all applications are supposed to classify trades as of the products to help in correct and aggregated risk across department and banks.
• Rules to determine product for a trade, static definition of products, maintenance of data using user controlled GUI, exception management for failed classifications of trades, end of day classification requests in batches from multiple clients were key functionalities in the application. Volumes were huge so performance was of essence to not impact batch timings. Introduction of asynchronous capturing of request and response data without affecting/blocking main executing thread was key contribution. Restful web service was packaged as library for clients having 3000 instance running at same time to avoid all hitting web service at same time and to decouple the systems.

Environment: Core Java, Spring, Rest Webservice, Struts, JSP, Oracle, Unix, Autosys, Tomcat and Apache.

Responsibilities:

• Worked as application architect and designed the application end to end.
• Created restful web service for classification of trades and defined the rules for taxonomy.
• For high volume client systems, worked on packaging the web service as java library.
• Wrote components to process asynchronous messages and reporting batches.
• Use of autosys scheduler to schedule jobs to trigger Shell Scripts .ksh files
• Created ant build script to create war file for deployment.
• Instrumental in deployment of the components and coordinated testing across teams before production.
• Managed the needs of all client stakeholders.
• Managed dev and qa teams and worked with offshore team for delivering the project.
• Primary involvement in understanding the interfacing applications and the methodology involved in communicating with them.
• Use of Spring framework for core business logic.
• Use of J2EE technologies JSPs, hibernate, struts etc for GUI of the application.
• Managing an offshore based team of 10 members for technical challenges. Delegation of tasks and tracking of progress via trackers, team meetings, etc.
• Bi-weekly meetings with client for overall health status and action plans across all applications.
