Application Development Lead

My most recent project was in Prime Brokerage group building a high performance Reference Data platform using Web Services and TIBCO EMS messaging to acquire, store, and distribute key reference data for all asset classes including Options and Derivatives. Key components of the platform include:

• Feed framework to manage internal and external data feeds,
• Processes to cleanse, profile, prepare and cross reference data from all vendors,
• Dashboard for viewing/manipulating data and score cards, and
• APIs to access data and delta updates over Web Services, and message queues to over 200 applications in Investor Services group.

Previously in the Broker Dealer technology group I was given the responsibility of bringing all account, entitlement, and positions data to the front end applications to enable same-day trading for CISC analysts. Additionally, I managed various Trading related projects including portfolio rebalancing, managed accounts, bulk order trading, and several significant enhancements to the proprietary Order Management System – COSMOS.

In a previous role, I led the design and development of a data container library in C++ with a Python layer that powers many quantitative finance applications across the entire Investment Bank as the glue for integrating disparate applications and run on Grid platform in JPMC.

Prior to that, I led several major projects including an application to propagate mainframe data including entitlements, accounts, positions, and instruments via JMS to front end Databases for use by over 200 applications in the Broker Dealer group. My responsibility as technical leader was to work with the Product Development to clearly define the requirements, layout the architecture and design for the systems in compliance with the firm’s architecture direction, work with development teams to build the systems, coordinate with QA and Release management teams for successful implementation of the systems into production and train the operations group in providing first level support while maintaining third level support schedules for my team.

Prior to that, I was involved in several enterprise-wide software development initiatives including a web based application for Prime Brokerage, built using TIBCO GI and J2EE, a robust messaging architecture with TIBCO EMS, TIBCO RV and IBM MQ for services and Gemfire distributed cache, a set of cross language and cross platform libraries for common data representation, and a set of common C# assemblies for use in software applications across the Enterprise. Major user groups are in Equities, Equity Derivatives, and Fixed Income. All projects involved multiple languages (C#, C++ and Java) and multiple platforms (Linux, Windows)
