• Implemented and maintained an algorithmic and automated execution engines based on internal business analysis methodology, incorporating various future contracts strategies through FIX 4.2 and different broker APIs (CQG, X_TRADER).Coded several strategies derived from event-driven breakout, mean reversion, momentum, opening range breakout, custom indicators, and patterns.Enhanced these engines with OCO order handling, multiple trading sessions, roll-overs, back-adjustments, real-time and historical data feed. Built using C#, WPF, NHibernate, SQL Server and MongoDB.• Designed a deterministic multithreaded and event-driven TCP/IP network plugin to drive trading platforms (NinjaTrader, and other in-house engines) with external real time data feed. Built using C# and RabbitMQ. • Implemented a position forecasting and monitoring application based on event-driven breakouts, mean reversion and momentum.Coded to determine the probabilities to enter/exit the market, to facilitate active traders for a positional alert.Programmed strategy models in C# and NinjaTrader.• Debugged and resolved issues for the portfolio risk exposure application in C#.Enabled execution engines to communicate with this application that required SQL and MySQL interfaces.• Collaborated with investment managers for the implementation of trading strategies and requirement gathering. • Optimized performance of the existing applications and identified potential areas for the improvements.• Implemented a backtester application with Python (Pandas, Numpy) and R (XTS, quantmod, blotter, quantstrat, TTR) to generate period bars, custom indicators, historical executions and portfolio reports. • Understood and analysed the functional requirements to define the system and technical requirements.• Lead developer mentoring and hiring for Junior developers.

• Built a market profile application to enable the observation of time, price and volume which are displayed as a histogram of events or statistical distribution.Programmed to compute the balanced curves and skewness on futures and options using Bloomberg data feed. Built using C#, WPF, SQL Server, and NHibernate.• Coded to generate and publish the technical analysis reports on Bloomberg, FTP servers, and Twitter. • Developed market data Excel plugin in C# to load live prices of various future contracts.• Built a C# and WPF based application that uses the Trading Technologies XTAPI to alert brokers to an active market.• Implemented financial C# APIs to access the common behaviour in several future projects.• Successfully designed and resolved complex functionality problems for the servers that uses Bloomberg C# APIs.• Identified risk computation error that prevented future system crashes and inaccurate spreadsheet calculations.

• Designed and developed a complex and challenging “Data Warehouse Tool” for IIL Ltd. using Java/J2EE and MVC pattern.• Retrofitted exiting java methods with JUnit tests, and added unit tests for new methods to adhere test-driven development methodology.• Developed meta models (Entity Beans), meta brokers, factories, mapping files using Hibernate.• Involved in XP techniques (refactoring, iterative development, pair programming etc) and UML driven documentation.• Debugged portal functionality, fixed reported bugs and improved existing functionality.
