Specify, design and develop tools/software platforms for Portfolio Managers (PM) to use in their stacks. The goal is to shorten their onboarding time. I am loaned to PM groups as an embedded resource.

As a Software Developer / Researcher / Portfolio Manager, I am responsible for developing and deploying event driven, real-time software for trading infrastructure running and supporting equity Statistical Arbitrage long / short group with AUM up to $500M. I work with the team to gather requirements, understand priorities, research solutions, and develop solutions that support the goals and objectives. In my role, I also analyze, review, and enhance existing software to improve efficiency and adapt to new requirements while developing business processes and defining system interactions. I work with the team to translate requirements into business-critical software solutions. Development is done in C and C++ on CentOS and Red Hat systems. I am also responsible for co-management of the Statistical Arbitrage book.◆ Real-Time Price feeds: Multi-threaded, low-latency real-time price feed in C++ on top of the Reuters/ RFA/Refinitive API. Provided real-time equity pricing information to independent trading applications via TCP/IP sockets. Used Bloomberg BPIPE API to build similar backup price feed. Monitored feeds against each other and identified issues with either feed.◆ Order Match System: Programmed real-time order match system in C that provided compliance and risk limit checks for all order flow. System was used in production and as a loop-back simulator to test new trading applications.◆ Trading applications: Developed event-driven trading applications in C that generated BUY/SELL orders based on encoded algorithm. Fail-safe mechanisms were built-in to prevent the application from making trading errors. Applications were created to be stateful so could recover after being shut down or would not malfunction due to equipment failure.◆ Simulation generator/scheduler: This software was written in bash and C to generate and schedule simulations that ran on multi-core Linux systems for stock selection.

Began my career with Millennium as a Software Developer and Systems Administrator. This was a startup group, and I was tasked with developing the technical business plan, implementing the plan, and developing the software used in the real-time trading environment of the equity Statistical Arbitrage group. I was responsible for gathering and analyzing requirements and developing software that supported all business goals. Tested, maintained, and recommended software improvements to ensure strong functionality and optimization. Worked in SunOS and Red Hat environments. Maintained the departments computers and ensured consistent availability and access for users. ◆ Developed technology plan, secured technology and resources, and installed systems to meet aggressive 3-month time frame for being operational.
