Led the design, architecture and development of the GS Equities FIX ticketing system. This system allowed for audited release of FIX changes across numerous products, asset classes, workflows and regions. The platform had 100s of global users including Sales, Onboarding, FIX managers, Strategists and Operations. The system was built with an Angular 6 front-end, Node.JS server, a multi-threaded Slang middle layer, BPMN model, Redis cache and MongoDB back-end. Developed a multi-threaded FIX automation platform that consumed input data from our Sales teams and translated it into customized code. This customized code was then pushed to our production servers post review and approval for same-day release. This automation platform was built using Java Vert.x along with a multi-threaded Slang REST API. Managed the low latency onboarding team for 6 months - worked directly with clients, sales and engineering to ensure client was onboarded quickly and accurately. Developed a migration toolkit responsible for converting existing client FIX customization code to the new GS platform standard. This toolkit served as the basis for the migration of over 1.5 million lines of code. Developed an automated release manager which queued up all onboarding releases on a daily basis and released them to production fully autonomously, post review and approval. Manager was built using Java Vert.x.Built an onboarding toolkit comprised of four different applications - all of which facilitated the onboarders daily responsibilities. This toolkit prevented manual code writing from our onboarding teams which greatly decreased risk, time-to market and allowed for advances in automation.

For the 2011-2012 academic year I served as a "Gryphon", also known as an Resident Assistant, for a first year Residence Community. I mentored 46 underclass males and helped integrate them into the greater Lehigh community through programming and leading by example. For the 2012-2013 academic year I was hired as a Head Gryphon for an upper class Residence Area. I was in charge of a group of Resident Assistants who have the same responsibilities as I did the prior year. I was responsible for 196 Lehigh students and collaborated with my staff to give each of my residents the best college experience possible. There are only 12 Head Gryphon’s hired per year.For the 2013-2014 academic year I was hired again as a Head Gryphon for an upper class Residence Area. In this role I worked with a Lehigh faculty member, Heather Johnson, and her family to provide the residential community with a unique and inspiring experience.

Responsible for the organization and execution of the Rolldown Computer program run by the Lehigh University Computer Science and Business program. The main objective of the program was to refurbish computers and monitors and sell them to on-campus departments. I hired 5-10 employee's to handle the cleaning, imaging, packaging, and delivery of the computers. I handled all hardware issues that occurred and also maintained our sales records and communication with customers. While running the logistics of the project, I also remade its website to be more responsive and also created a mobile app for customers to use. I created the user interface and backend from scratch. For the project itself, we successfully moved approximately 180 computers.

While at RCA I am working on system configuration of the real estate database for the company; I was trained how to use an advanced website scraping software called “Kapow” which creates “Robots” that collect information from websites, I worked on debugging and creating these “Robots” for the company. I took part in the design of a Regression test on the company’s website for upkeep.
