On TechnologyDuring last decade technology has pivoted around a principle of misaligned interests. Instead of strengthening democracies and communities, it's all about aiming and exploiting the frailty of human behavior to sell ideas bordering consent manufacturing or massive consumerism.Digital technology is very potent and its impact wide and immense, if we from the tech world detach morality from business, harms to the world, specifically where democratic systems can easily be subjugated to vested interest, are huge and irreparable.Our efforts are to intervene and bring some sanity back to the internet, we are aiming to build research-oriented workforce solving sustainability, justice, equality and governance issues in India and beyond.

By entering loan details, either on a single loan or on a small portfolio (“mini-bulk”), the desk was able to derive indicative loan prices and interest rates.

Whole Loan Pricing SystemDeveloped a whole loan pricing system that would be an extension to IDCo structured products evaluation system and price un-securitized loans in IDCos client portfolio based on prices derived from a universe of around 5000 RMBS deal tranches already priced daily. The GUI maintained methodology involves generating spread matrix mapped on various loan characteristics from the deal universe, mapping these spreads to individual client portfolio loans and them using these spreads along with forward index rates to calculate prices discounting projected cash flows. The system was developed on Java Swing MVC architecture with thick MVC client sitting on client, talking to EJB3 session beans hosted on JBOSS server using Hibernate/JTA for persistence layer. The application was distributed on client terminals via JNLP.(C++, J2EE 5/6,Swing, Spring,EJB3, Hibernate, Oracle)
