EXPERIENCE

Confidential, Manhattan, New York 06/21/2010 - to date
Lead developer - Mortgage backed securities (MBS) trade reporting to FINRA system

• Primary responsibility to develop the MBS trading desk trace reporting system, to comply with FINRA's requirement that mandates the reporting of all over the counter secondary market transactions in eligible fixed income securities. The server side code was written in C/C++ and IBM MQ Series was used to communicate between servers across multiple platforms.The server application was multithreaded since each MQ manager must reside in it's own thread. A few scripts were written in Perl under Linux. The front end was written in C# (VS 2005) with the help of a couple of team members with Sybase as the database server. IBM MQ Series
• Secondary responsibility (10%) to support the MBS pass-through trading desk, including
• Fixed bugs and added new features to the trading tool as requested by the traders or operations
• Created scripts to provide reports to the traders, this can be a simple SQL query or a complex reporting tool written in C/C++ or Perl that runs daily, weekly or monthly to provide trade data analysis to the traders.
• Created filters that send data from the pass-through database to other departments or development groups. This can be a stored procedure or a soap server, which they subscribe to for the required information.

Confidential, Lake Mary, Florida 1/2000 - 09/17/2008
Senior Systems Analyst/Developer

• Worked as a feature lead/Usage subject matter expert in customizing Convergys billing software for a Brazilian client using C/C++ in a Unix/Linux environment with an Oracle database. The main billing part of the software was multi-threaded which was implemented using POSIX threads and the rating part was a distributed application, which was implemented using Tuxedo/CORBA as the middleware layer.
• This also involved analyzing the requirements, creating design concepts documents, creating the functional design specification document and writing software code.
• As usage development lead, I was mostly involved in optimizing the usage code to improve performance. This involved using tools such as Purify and Great Circle to locate and fix memory leaks, updated SQL queries to make them more efficient and rewrote several functions to improve their performance by using more efficient algorithms.
• Served as a mentor to new usage developers, by helping them understand Convergys software development process, coding standards and most importantly, the usage sub-system
• Provided around the clock production development support of our billing software, to the client; this involved analyzing and resolving problems when they arise and providing code fixes to the software if needed. Used Perl/SQL to create quick fix scripts and also to update the database if needed.
