At UBS, I was a member of the database team of UBS Delta, a portfolio analysis tool used by a wide variety of asset managers, pension funds, hedge funds and banks. Projects varied from technical upgrades to Sybase 16 to a statistical analysis of the quality of our issuer credit curves based on factors such as continuity, liquidity of bonds and quote depth of credit default swaps. My last project was to help evaluate a suitable ETL (Extraction, Transform and Load) tool for rapid data… Show more At UBS, I was a member of the database team of UBS Delta, a portfolio analysis tool used by a wide variety of asset managers, pension funds, hedge funds and banks. Projects varied from technical upgrades to Sybase 16 to a statistical analysis of the quality of our issuer credit curves based on factors such as continuity, liquidity of bonds and quote depth of credit default swaps. My last project was to help evaluate a suitable ETL (Extraction, Transform and Load) tool for rapid data feed development, initially security static, rates, derivative confirms and client multi-asset portfolios. We chose the young but rapidly evolving MarkIt CADIS EDM (Enterprise Data Management) tool. From December 2015, I built feeds and user interfaces in the EDM toolkit supported by MarkIt consultants. We went live in under 6 months with three feeds, comprising UBS trading data, Bloomberg index data and Reuters ABS (Asset Backed Securities) pricing data. Before EDM, I addressed a large number of Sybase database performance and tuning issues and supported a reference and market data batch written in PERL and SQL.In 2014 I took responsibility for moving a Thomson Reuters Quantative Analytics database from Oracle to Sybase working with the vendor to adapt their SQL Server client to work with Sybase. I have gained experience of continuous integration using TeamCity and enjoyed moving the build and deployment infrastructure to Nuget and Octopus. Show less

I joined Swiss Re's Capital Markets and Advisory department as a member of the Murex team building a series of interfaces to in-house accounting and risk systems, third party systems and regulators using Murex MReports, PERL and SQL on a unix/linux platform.

The business expanded rapidly across many asset classes and we worked closely with quant developers to integrate pricing models for products such as weather derivatives and catastrophe bonds. Projects included a migration of the high frequency equity trading business from Murex to Calypso and an installation of Murex 3.1.During the credit crunch, I worked with Legal and Operations to build a liquidity risk reporting application and various ad-hoc reports as several of our counterparties collapsed. I attended the FSA's transaction reporting forum and built a feed collating trades from Murex 2.9, Murex 3.1 and Blackrock Aladdin to the FSA's Transaction Reporting System. The team also supported the Operations department who used Smartstream products for bank and general ledger reconciliations. I was the technical lead on the TLM Recs Premium project, responsible for the successful conversion from Smartstream SSR on Sybase to TLM Recs Premium 2.1 on Oracle. I built the interfaces, including SWIFT, the batch (using an in-house PERL scheduler) and monitoring and reporting utilities. Show less

At Merrill Lynch Investment Managers I built PERL modules to handle database interaction (using the DBI libraries), XML and flat file validation and CSS-styled email reporting. I also rewrote Informatica PowerCenter feeds using faster PERL scripts and Sybase stored procedures.

In my 6 years at CSFB I built and supported Sybase, PERL and UNIX applications for Financial Control.We supported European statutory and regulatory reporting systems including SECAM for FSA reporting. Three large reporting databases were built to take feeds from over 50 front and back office systems, providing reconciliation tools and numerous extracts to users and regulators across Europe. I was Data Architect for two of the three projects and took responsibility for all feeds into… Show more In my 6 years at CSFB I built and supported Sybase, PERL and UNIX applications for Financial Control.We supported European statutory and regulatory reporting systems including SECAM for FSA reporting. Three large reporting databases were built to take feeds from over 50 front and back office systems, providing reconciliation tools and numerous extracts to users and regulators across Europe. I was Data Architect for two of the three projects and took responsibility for all feeds into the databases.I designed and built a suite of UNIX tools to standardise feed file transfer, access to the databases, error checking and scheduling control.

First contract working for the Derivatives Group. I developed a pricing feed in UNIX / Sybase and performed analysis and coding of EMU enhancements to a PowerBuilder / Sybase broker reconciliation system.

I joined JP Morgan on the graduate training programme in the Applications Delivery Team for the European Cash Management and Cash Dividends teams. Projects included adding an audit trail to an established cash management system, automating general ledger postings from a corporate actions system, and interfaces with various systems using Sybase, UNIX shell scripts and C. I was also responsible for two Sybase 11 upgrades.
