Helped set the strategy and culture of the trading, market data, securities, & ledger teams. Some of my favorite deliverables from our teams included:* Fractional trading* Margin trading* Options trading* Redundant market-data providersSome of my favorite OE changes from our teams include:* Designing and implementing the operational excellence culture/strategy within the Invest engineering group* Pushing our Correction of Error culture, both as a COE champion and as an EM* Pushing our Engineering Excellence culture by helping prioritize and justify the strategic EE changes that will have long term Engineering effects (such as better metrics/monitoring/CI/CD etc.).I still am obsessed with engineering and am always in the code, reviewing MRs, writing code, challenging designs, helping teams look for better patterns to greater success.

* Guided teams to finding sound solutions using good design patterns. The technical front: git usage, pull requests, code coverage, performance tuning, code reuse, componentization etc. On the management side it involved defining the charter, setting the strategy, roadmap, growing individuals and other managers. * Helped ramp up the teams on Scrum/Agile methodologies* Grew multiple engineers to their next level* Brought a legacy team and new engineers up to speed on multiple new technologies* Trained teams on mock/unit frameworks* Trained teams on Jmeter and load testing* Trained across the company in SPA technologies, specifically Ember* Optimized build processes across multiple projects resulting in time savings between 43% and 83%* Architected and implemented a client side caching strategy which resulted in an average page load time savings of 20%* Implemented server side template caching resulting in time saving of 20%* Complete Data Science Course from John's Hopkins learning and using R* Always willing to learn new languages for whatever project I was placed on* Constantly jumped from project to project lending technical guidance and technical probing* Super willing to dig down to the root of a problem and ask targeted diagnostic questions* Fixed multiple memory leaks in application that were resulting in daily crashes* Identified and fixed kernel crashes through process dumps * Helped identify and fix a plethora of N+1 issues in the code* Developed and transitioned the product from TFS to Git* Found and fixed a zero day vulnerabilities* Helped drive a SQL session state implementation in lieu of an in processor session state (allowing us to use a real load balanced solution)* Improved end user response time by 202% across application* Improved Apdex score from .90 to .98 * Calculated improvements on one product were equivalent to 57 employees jobs per year

* Learned and became an Ember aficionado (#1 on stack overflow http://stackoverflow.com/tags/ember.js/topusers)* Helped convert our client facing site into a SPA* Helped re-architected our application resulting in 150% more productive end users* Rewrote an integration agent in Java using SpringBoot/Camel/RabbitMQ resulting in updates between the systems in under 4 seconds as opposed to 10 minutes.* Helped all teams in architectural discussions* Helped promote good processes amongst multiple teams* Continually worked with the client/business/devops to troubleshoot issues and identify root causes* Willing to jump at any new problem and jump on any project

* Developed a management system from scratch to monitor over 100 Red Hat Linux systems.* Wrote internal tools that automatically spun up virtual machines, installed the specific build, and registered them with the management system. * Wrote performance tools, mainly in java, for dynamically generating custom HL7 messages (XML and Pipe delimited) and pumping them into the system for stress testing.* Developed a simple context free grammar for helping others customize and generate their own HL7 messages.* Taught a C# development class for both developers and testers. * Flew out to Redmond to work with our Microsoft counterpart on developing performance tools for stressing systems.* Helped build up production type systems for performance testing.* Helped build and managed a lab.

* Programmed a records management system for San Diego Sheriff’s Department, Philadelphia PD, Lowndes County PD, LOGIS Consortium, and Fresno PD.* Installed patches and releases in San Diego and Minnesota.* Developed multiple tools to automate common problems and issues at Motorola.* Headed development and test teams for patches for Lowndes, LOGIS, and Philadelphia.* Designed a highly customizable web solution for use in development on the San Diego records management system. This saved our project 400 hours in development.
