Picking up where we left off at IEX Cloud, working with a small startup to launch a financial services platform that will encapsulate the data sets and services API offered by IEX prior to shutting down the division. Using the same technology, I am working on the backend services like realtime and delayed feeds, using Java, Redis, Kafka, with a little Go thrown in. Parsing realtime and delayed exchange data feeds for customer consumption using low-level Java and multithreading with nio packages, LMAX disruptor, sockets, etc.

Back-end (full-stack) SDE, cloud-based financial product services in the IEXCloud division.I was brought onboard to lead a migration of the legacy cloud miroservices from a node.js/cassandra/Java infrastructure to a new one using Scylla db/Golang in order to increase speed and reduce footprint. However, the IExCloud division of IEx was dissolved in June 2024 in order to narrow focus and better align with the core business.Accomplishments:• Parsing new raw binary streams of market data for ingestion by existing microservices framed with Kafka, Redis, and Apache Airflow using Java/Python. • Created infrastructure in Java to cache and reconstitute the daily transaction records in the event of an outage. • Initial architecture and design for migrating to Go/ScyllaDB.

Back-end (full-stack) SDE, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) IaaS. This is Oracle's cloud infrastructure offering, competing against AWS/Azure/GCP. All services were highly distributed and fully integrated with IAM, storage, secrets, auditing, load balancing, metrics, monitoring, etc. Services were developed with the principals of scalability, availability, and reliability in mind. These positions presented a rare opportunity to work on the other side of a cloud services provider.Developers were also responsible for all non-UI stages of the SDLC for their services including writing/testing/debugging, packaging (Docker) and deployment (TerraForm-templated) to Kubernetes clusters running Oracle Linux in virtual environments.Highlighted achievements:• As part of the threat intelligence service team, created a service written in Go to ingest TOR exit node data for context processing. • Also created a STIX 2.1-formatted IoC framework for internal customer SIEM consumption using Go. • As part of the messaging team, I was technical lead for a REST API-based configuration module (control plane), including API design and implementation using OpenAPI Swagger, Java.• Created tools to assist with automation using Python.
