      I currently develop applications to support our click and automated trading activities. These applications include working on multicast price servers, real-time pnl systems, and back office tools for accounting, traders and management. Applications are developed using C++, C#, STL, and boost. These applications are deployed in windows and/or Linux. Develop custom trading applications for the Orc trading platform and developed custom pricing application for various option trading strategies that would continue to price in real time to allow the trader to price standard and custom strategies to floor brokers.

      My primary focus was developing solutions for exchange connectivity and various applications required to support our proprietary trading. During my tenure I wrote and worked on quote servers, order routers, and trade handling applications. I have worked on various exchanges including BOX, ISE, LSE, Eurex, and CME. These applications were developed on the UNIX Solaris platform in C/C++. The applications ran on both Solaris systems and RedHat Linux systems. The exchanges used TCP and UDP as the transport layer for various types of data and I had to optimize these applications to gain an edge to compete with other market makers. Show less

      Design and implement various solutions for propriety trading systems. Projects included straight through trading applications, which use FIX protocol to communicate with customers via TCP/IP and spool into our internal risk systems via a proprietary trade and positioning system, TPOS. I also worked on projects to integrate data from other customer proprietary systems into our risk management systems. Design and implement various solutions for propriety trading systems.
