As a Director of Research and Development and a Distinguished Engineer at BNY Mellon, I have over 30 years of experience in the financial industry, where I lead and execute innovative solutions using scientific computing, high performance computing, blockchain, machine learning, optimization, homomorphic encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs. I am passionate about enhancing the resiliency, efficiency, and security of BNY Mellon's software and services, as well as contributing to the industry's best practices and standards. One of my notable achievements was the U.S. Tri-Party Repo Infrastructure Reform Program, where I helped reduce the intraday credit risk by more than 97 percent and provide substantial savings for the dealers. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with my fellow engineers and fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence.
