Web Data Extraction Project• Coded web data extraction modules to retrieve and categorize an initial collection of web pages. The collection comprised of Securities Law in various countries. Because of the large number of web pages traversed, the programs had intelligence built in as to which documents to retrieve and which to reject. As a second step I wrote modules for a subsequent run to record differences and updates in pages of the original collection on an ongoing basis.

Because of the large number of web pages traversed, the programs had intelligence built in as to which documents to retrieve and which to reject. As a second step I wrote modules for a subsequent run to record differences and updates in pages of the original collection on an ongoing basis. The project was done on behalf of leading Wall Street Securities Firms. Another data extraction project involved retrieving and formatting pages from a client company website (13 websites) to be used as evidentiary materials in court case. • Coded report pages in MVC Core application for internal bookkeeping systems.Lead Architect / Developer on Docker Project• Responsible for architecting a Docker environment and related container listeners and Auto-Runners to facilitate moving company applications off of process servers, and on to Docker. I also oversaw I.T./Networking group tasks to complete the networking portions necessary for making the Docker system work.• Wrote documentation for complex pieces of Data Conversion Labs system as a guide to onboard employees/consultants who needed to do development on the system.

I was the Lead Developer involved in the building out of the Buy In System. This system was designed to receive in all BOA/Merrill Lynch Buy In notices and liabilities; as a first stage. The system was developed using C, HTML, javascript, Perl, Sybase.It was then expanded to incorporate all of DTCC's Smart Track features, such as Update, Reject, Accept, and Update Extended To Date on Buy Ins. Our Buy In system communicated all these actions to DTC's Smart Track system via… Show more I was the Lead Developer involved in the building out of the Buy In System.

Our Buy In system communicated all these actions to DTC's Smart Track system via MQ.Another piece of the system consisted of generating Merrill Lynch notices daily.A large part of the system was one that dealt with Buy In Risk / Monetary Exposure. To assign the exposure to its correct source we had a Short Account / email matrix which mapped accounts to the account manager's email addresses. If it was systematically determined that the exposure belonged to these accounts, the managers would be notified of their liability via email. There was a real time email notifications system written, as well as a batched notifications system. Show less

As I was one of the few people on the team who had experience in python, I led and trained the team for the programming effort. We collaborated to code a subsystem which would take the exposure of the incoming Buy In Liabilities, and deliver it to its primary owner, thereby alleviating the Bank's liability. This was tested by myself and the team thoroughly, and we also built many automated test cases around this system. The system was rolled out successfully, and was highly acclaimed by our… Show more As I was one of the few people on the team who had experience in python, I led and trained the team for the programming effort.

This was tested by myself and the team thoroughly, and we also built many automated test cases around this system. The system was rolled out successfully, and was highly acclaimed by our product owners. The Auto Retransmittals system took a manual effort, which was prone to human error, and automated this process with a close to 100% degree of accuracy. Show less

There was a report written in the Bank's Quartz integrated Python platform which calculated the exposure / Coverage any given Buy In Liability had in the three days run up to the Buy In Execution date. Some of factors which provided coverage were viable short account notifications and active Retransmittals. I wrote up C modules on the Solaris box which filled in a daily history of all these factors in Sybase tables, and performed calculations based on them. Based on these calculations… Show more There was a report written in the Bank's Quartz integrated Python platform which calculated the exposure / Coverage any given Buy In Liability had in the three days run up to the Buy In Execution date. Some of factors which provided coverage were viable short account notifications and active Retransmittals. I wrote up C modules on the Solaris box which filled in a daily history of all these factors in Sybase tables, and performed calculations based on them. Based on these calculations the process marks indicators used by other subsystems as to whether further action is needed to provide coverage for these items.I coded all the C modules which provided the data scaffolding for the Coverage report, and as the subject matter expert drew up specs for the team who were doing the coding on the integrated Python platform.This report is heavily relied on by the Buy in Ops managers, and has been working with excellent reliability to date.
