AQR was borrowing about $100 billion from investment banks for trading purposes and my team and I built systems to balance risk (borrowing too much from one bank) and cost (borrowing from cheapest sources). I collaborated with the Portfolio Finance business to build applications that help the firm optimize banking financing relationships, efficiently distribute broker balances, and replicate the custom Margin and Financing methodologies that banks had. The tech stack was C#, .NET Core, Angular and SQL Server. It was running on Windows machines hosted on-prem. I containerized the stack and ran it on linux in AWS. My value add was in delivering high quality long term solutions, building careers of people in my team, gathering requirements, doing project planning, designing and architecting systems, and managing production issues.
