As part of the Strategic Initiatives Office within BLK, I help managed a few projects, gist of which is below:1. Client Reporting : This program consisted of re-architecting the way post-trade data is organised and fed into an internal reporting tool in order to standardise reporting across multiple clients and geographies. 2. Database Migration : Migration of arguably world's largest Sybase DB onto Cloud. This was a challenging task because of the amount of users accessing the onprem db and the way the access patterns needed to be changed to ensure optimal cloud costs with no user disruption.
