Search for price based day scale equity hedge funds suitable for algorithmic trading.Developed and set up assessment and reporting structures to assess signals, trades, and strategies.Investigated simple relationships between volatility and time scale.Studied price movements in an attempt to understand the best framework for price dynamics.Considered distributions of strategies and their time evolution in an attempt to devise a coherent approach to performance tuning and tracking.Worked with Singapore Hedge Fund Komodo Capital to set up similar trading ideas on algorithmic day scale foreign exchange trades.Research and Development in a gnu C/C++ environment.Worked with trading and systems groups, but mainly self motivated environment.

Singapore / Malaysia

Worked in the Sales team for new application development, new product development, to resolve quality problems and report R&D and Engineering progress. Performed all Technical pre-sale, and post-sale work directly with customers on the Pressure Sensor Product.Developed laser trimming process for passive thick-film trimming of pressure sensor device. Devised and implemented algorithms to measure and determine optimal values (6 parameter minimization).Brought first MEMS medical pressure sensor product manufactured by a South East Asian company to market. Led a group of ten engineers in the product test, development, and reliability efforts. Developed Accelerometer and Initial Microphone testing systems. Built simple analytical models of device performance used to calibrated the devices. Improved process and yield considerably during production ramp phase, studied all processes from a characterization perspective to get an understanding of process variability and control limits.Developed a range of pressure sensor product for various markets - consumer, home medical, medical, automotive.Introduced wafer probing system for the microphone die, qualified and setup paradigm for test. Chose appropriate materials for packaging MEMS devices.Set up quality system for test / development / qualification / engineering drawings, within and ISO9000 framework, with a view towards ISO13485 and TS16949 certification.Coordinated and reviewed product performance, continuous improvement, and customer feedback, from the product perspective. Coordinated manufacturing line transfer from Singapore to Malaysia from a product perspective.Worked on qualification plans for multiple sources key product materials. Developed pressure transducer device for medical IV systems, took to manufacturing - Patented deviceDeveloped product road map in the medical pressure sensor space for business in South East Asia, multiple product families - Provisional patent

Singapore

Worked as a project manager and within a team of engineers. Design development and 3rd tier line support for Singapore / Indonesia / China / Philippines plants. Customers in this case were internal stakeholders. Design and Development of a 3 axis monolithic accelerometer test system to 250g / axis, which included testing, programming calibration, vision systems / centralized traceability system, sorting and packaging. This was the only project conducted by our group for an external customer (Temic automotive) Developed the SCADA test and supervisory software for this system in Visual Basic. Conceptualization and development of systems and software for an automated flash tube tester (90ns/1000V/100A), Borland C++.Developed pressure sensor temperature and pressure based test systems.Worked on 300 channel (100 device) DSP based infrared sensor tester which was required to be developed from scratch due to space and cost constraints. Supported transfer of testers from West Germany to Singapore, Singapore to Indonesia, and US West Coast to Singapore. Built and support R&D testers for Accelerometer devices. Both shaker and flip based. Designed and implemented firmware for a 32 channel prototype PCR system Developed controls for 50 axis photo aligner system as part of a special team deployed globally on severe time and budget constraints. Received a company commendation for this work.Developed object oriented libraries for automation control for internal use. Developed web based QA 8-D system for collaborative work over the company intranet (which spanned multiple sites)Supported IT department in the migration exercise for Y2K.Simulations / applications support / product / process design help and optimization as appropriate and as tasked.
