  Project: Orion – A Risk and P&L analysis and aggregation tool. (WPF 4.0, DevExpress)Orion is a reporting tool used by users from Rates, Exotics and Hybrids in front office, middle office and product control. Currently we are also taking the Flow business and the DCU desk on board. It provides:- Fast server-side slice and dice operations on very large data sets,- Management of workflow between Front, Middle Office and Product Control,- Flexible design to allow new reports and data sources to be quickly added,- High level of visibility linking data availability to report status.When I joined the Orion developers’ team, the Orion user interface was written in WinForms and CAB. Since then I have not only migrated existing functionalities to WPF and MEF, but also I have introduced many new features. I have been working closely with Orion users to recognise and gather any new requirements, necessary to implement the desired functionalities. To develop new graphical user interface I have used MVVM and TDD patterns. To ensure that the GUI, during long-running operations, is always responsive, I have also used task parallel library. I have taken the full advantage of third party components created by DevExpress. • Achievements/Improvements made: WPF (4.0), DevExpress WPF controls(Pivot Grid, Data Grid, Docking and Layout Controls, Bar Manager, Charting), MEF, TPL, Expression Blend, Memory Profiler, Performance Profiler, Coherence (POF), Fitnesse.
