Combination of technological and business knowledge and experience allows me to architect, design, implement, deploy and operate mission critical business environments in several key strategic industries : Finance and Trading, Litigation Support and Electronic Discovery / Evidence Management, Voice Telecommunications and Compliance, Record Retention and Data Warehousing.Technological expertise is thorough and hands-on. From deep knowledge of key operating systems on the lowest level (kernel debugging, writing custom kernel-level code) through the set of applications actually comprising day to day business, I can maintain singular vision of the entire chain of custody that's involved in operations of a given business unit.As a systems architect, I oversee and interact with business users, developers, QA, database administrators, operational engineers and other members of the team with stakes in a given project. It is my job to understand requirements put forth by one side and to digest, augment and present those requirements in an acceptable medium to their target audience.Code development - I have developed and optimized vast amounts of mission critical code of various complexity. Most of the development has been done in Java, C++, C, C# and Ada 95, as well as PL/SQL. I bring onboard substantial business knowledge in several key industries - trading on the US equities, options and futures markets, advanced options topics for both vanilla and exotic options, electonic discovery, electronic evidence management and processing and voice telecommunications.Specialties: IT : Solaris, RedHat Linux, Veritas, Sybase, Oracle, Peoplesoft, DB2, SQL Server, FIX Protocol
