* New ‘Greenfield’ Global eFX programme* Enterprise Architecture and Engineering Design Authority* Process, resilience and service improvement* Define reusable standards, patterns, etc.* Designed and built Innovation/engineering lab. for development teams (DevOps, Agile, CI, CD, Dev. VM farm and physicals for non-functionals - 'on demand', etc.), benchmarking and certification Senior architect and engineer for a new global eFX service 'green field' build: Hardware (Dev./innovation farm and physicals for low latency) Software Processes Support Development (DevOps) Co-lo. Support Monitoring ECN connectivity, etc. across Tokyo, London and New York.Hardware, software, messaging, application and middleware layout etc. is designed in collaboration with business and development stakeholders in an agile manner to ensure that the infrastructure solution meets the requirements of all parties for the lifecycle of the environment.In addition to the eFX programme, my role is to bring more specialised experience of infrastructure configuration and optimisation into the bank and deliver appropriate standards and best practices in the wider eco-system.To assist with this, I have designed and built an engineering and architecture lab. including rack-mount systems, blades, EMC VNX, VMware vSphere, vcloud, automation, Informatica UMS, UMP, DRO, Windows, SQL, KDB, Linux, Cisco UCS, Cisco 7k, 3548, Solarflare NICs, Solarcapture, PTP, Corvil, Geneos, Jenkins, Robot framework, access to UAT ECNs, matching engines, automated deployment and test, etc.The lab. also supports DevOps processes, hardware test, certification and provides a flexible environment that can be configured to match production patterns for functional and non-functional testing.This environment delivers the standards and roadmaps that the production environment will adhere to through the lifecycle of the programme.

Low latency / high frequency tradingTested and selected platforms to satisfy business requirements -functional and non-functional.Designed and deployed automated (and adaptive) tooling for a new multi-colo. market making business, to control (using a DevOps philosophy): System configuration (RedHat Linux) Low latency settings User authentication and privileges Network configuration (low latency NICs, multiple default routing tables, ptp environment)Maintained Book of Work for architecture and engineering tasksDefined architectural standards/patterns (hardware and software) for ongoing programmesCreated and maintained the BoM for LL building blocksWorked with internal and external partners to ensure that the business functional and non-functional requirements were achieved and measurableWorked with vendors to understand current and future products, evaluate where necessary and maintain a rolling technology roadmap to allow efficient life-cycle management and coordinated technology refresh cycles (hardware and software) -including the certification and introduction of new technologies where required.

Ran the low latency architecture and engineering team to research, design and certify hardware to create reusable patterns for ULL deployments.Worked closely with hardware manufacturers and application development teams to ensure the optimal architecture and configuration (OS and application) are used to obtain the best possible performance and lowest jitter for high frequency trading businesses.My experience of hard real-time systems and high performance computing provides a solid base on which to innovate and push forward from.• Low latency systems architecture and analysis (hardware and software)• Performance architecture (end-to-end; systems, network, storage, resilience)• Real-Time experience and expertise (Hardware-in-the loop, embedded)• Multi-threaded development and optimisation• C, Perl, etc. development skills, code optimisation for LL use • System performance tuning and optimisation • Trouble-shooting support for performance critical environments (L3)
