Through CX Markets (a subsidiary) I was brought in to play a leadership role in the product and technical evolution of the existing FX Options platform from CX to support innovative solutions for Weather-based derivatives. As CX launched first-to-market weather derivatives for Snow, Rain, Temperature and Wind across the continental US, I worked on market-leading UX solutions for presenting complex weather phenomena to trading audiences both novice and veteran. I took ownership of the software development processes from conception through to release and ensured that the complex regulatory requirements from the CFTC were integrated into the overall technical solution. I had my hands dirty in UX code, orchestrated DevOps solutions with TeamCity & AWS, and built out the Jira, Confluence, and Slack environments to document our processes and releases.
