 Maintained and enhanced an in house framework for parallel computing over a distributed environment. Used Java executor pools to launch asynchronous remote processes over SSH to enable split processing of PNL and VaR jobs. Track remote process completion/error states, startup and shutdown routines. Develop solutions to overcome problems posed by firm architecture including use of status files, PERL and bash wrapper scripts, signal handling, and data checksums. Framework enabled a 85% runtime reduction over existing serial processing applications. Develop and support a risk scenarios computing platform to calculate day-to-day and weekly PNLs based on shocks applied to market volatility and price movements. Created and updated DB2 stored procedures, wrote SQL statements to support new features and trouble shoot issues. High visibility program used daily by firm risk monitors and for the 2011 Federal CCAR test.  Involved with department initiatives to migrate existing firm applications over to Java Spring Framework.  Architected and implement an integration framework for existing firm applications to use Platform Symphony grid computing. Mentored and advised junior developers and technology interns

 Implement Java based HadoopMap-Reduce jobs for processing large volumes of client data. Enhance database dependant lookup services used by the Hadoop to reduce performance bottlenecks through caching, and lookup optimizations. Design and implement high performance and scalable mapping routines to supplement queries to a RDMBS using Java NIO MappedByte Buffers and hash key indexing. Use Java VisualVM, and Java Remote Debugging to fine tune application performance. Developed multi threaded text preprocessing and queuing system to validate and load client logs for data scoring jobs. Developed Java base file automation and job control application for retrieving remote client data via SFTP, SCP and HTTP protocols, creating and tracking workers threads to process received files and update DB status tables on the job progress. Used Java Exception classes to catch and handle processing errors throughout the file processing cycle. Maintain and enhanced proprietary networking protocol(over TCP/IP) to better facilitate key-value pair exchanges between a multi threaded sever and multiple client data requestors. Develop XML, Excel and other formatted text parsers using Java, PERL and XSLT for in-house Extract, Transform and Load processing (ETL).

 Maintained and enhanced enterprise internal instant messaging application that supports 120K simultaneous internal users. Included client side Java work(Swing + AWT) as well as backend server side applications to handle message distribution, off-line storage and user authentication.  Focused on real time presence information with JMS, custom message proxies and gateways to offload JMS server overhead. Research, propose and implement ideas and technologies to increase scalability and performance of backend message processing and queuing application to handle varying load requirements throughout a typical and untypical workday.  Plan and delegate programming tasks to other developers. Development, deployment and maintenance of custom monitoring tools/scripts for backend components using PERL and Unix shell scripting On call system support and off hours maintenance.
