I am focused on impactful technological innovations that transform the way people work. I believe it pays to spend time exploring ”what’s out there” in terms of technologies that help us get work done faster, and more efficiently with less stress. Currently, I champion and promote a really novel and cool tool for non-programmers, programmers and Excel power users. It’s a technology that essentially turns Excel into a robotic computer programmer. Yes, Excel can now be used to create computer programs! In terms of time saved, code development time is whittled down to a tiny fraction of what you'd normally expect. I am also deeply involved with technology in the financial space, specifically derivatives and securitized products. I have been a strong advocate of three incredibly innovative products.The first, TOPS, Tanenbaum Option Pricing Software, a set of Excel tools featuring super-fast, cutting edge, proprietary techniques for the intensively mathematical computations involved in determining OTC derivatives prices and risk measures. Handles ALL instruments from ALL OTC markets. The second, STARS, Savvysoft Trading & Risk System, is for any company looking to build their own customized portfolio and risk system. Did you know there is a system that was conceived from the ground up to be endlessly customizable? Users of STARS reap the tremendous benefits of customization without having to invest an immense amount of time & effort programming from scratch. In fact, your completed STARS system can be implemented in a fraction of the time it typically takes.The third, OTCBackTesting&Risk, a clever app on the Bloomberg terminal that solves the problem of how to backtest OTC derivatives when there’s no price history. This is the case with many types of illiquid OTC derivatives that rarely trade.
