I've been tasked with creating several modules for a real time brokerage and hedge fund trading platform. Through which we have created multiple trading algorithms that we have managed multiple millions of dollars in a way that reduces exposure risk. My duties include but are not limited to: Speak with customers and translate their concerns into action items Maintaining and refactoring our live code base (GIT) Maintaining and debugging our test platform Data analytics Software engineering with a focus on scalability and reliability Database engineering (Postgres) Updating and maintaining policies and procedures for best practices with respect to software Create modifiable parameter sets for trading logic Create trading logic for entry and exit vectors along arbitrary markets Coding challenges include: Creating and maintaining an API for general order placement OpenMPI parallelization for real time modules Real time database constraints in a parallel environment Distributed voting practices for correctness Quorum timing constraints to within a minute Enabling outside trading strategies and integration

• Graduate Research Assistant

  • Dec 2011 - May 2012

  • Collaborated in development of a General Purpose GPU (GPGPU) compiler as the subject matter expert in the memory hierarchy. • Created a general framework for memory mapping an a asymmetric topography, where use of grid memory was optimized for space efficiency. • Technologies: LLVM, Clang, C, CUDA (Now OpenCL), GIT

• Graduate Research Assistant

  • May 2011 - Dec 2011

  • Created a framework for testing system reliability in the event of several failure models. • Tested OS error propogation from various entry methodologies, and created reports summarizing which parts of the OS were statistically more hardened than others. • Error insertion was done in several ways, often mimicing an alpha particle strike at various chipset sizes (so swapping either a bit or concurrent bits of a given word-size to all 1 or all 0), and monitoring which parts of the… Show more • Created a framework for testing system reliability in the event of several failure models. • Tested OS error propogation from various entry methodologies, and created reports summarizing which parts of the OS were statistically more hardened than others. • Error insertion was done in several ways, often mimicing an alpha particle strike at various chipset sizes (so swapping either a bit or concurrent bits of a given word-size to all 1 or all 0), and monitoring which parts of the OS were propogated through. • Technologies: Linux, tinyOS, GIT

• Graduate Teaching Assistant

  • May 2011 - Dec 2011

  • Collaborated to teach undergraduate students about foundational techniques in languages and compilers. • Lead several lectures and study sessions on the formalizations of Deterministic Finite Automata (DFAs), Nondeterministic Finite Automata (NFAs), Context Free Grammars (CFGs), and Turing machines. • Created and graded exams and assignments pertaining to compilers to judge aptitude and learning.

• Undergraduate Research Assistant

  • Aug 2008 - May 2010

  • Developed General framework for testing RFID embedded systems. • Tested multiple active and passive RFID chips to determine location, message payload, and reliable tracking in a crowded environment. • Trouble-shooting and performance optimization for asynchronous asymetric tag and location-based use cases.

• Intern

  • May 2008 - Aug 2008

  The first project that I worked on was using wireshark to parse out network traffic to debug program flow. We also ran simulations and live testing of an autonomous land vehicle prototype, where I helped develop some of the simulations.
