eFX Developer
BNP Paribas.
Technologies: C#, Javascript, React, WPF, OpenFin, DevExpress, MvvM, Rx, concurrency / multithreading, nUnit, Moq, SQL Server, TDD, Scrum (Agile).
eFX team is responsible for a suite of applications and services that form the core of the eFX business line servicing external clients, internal Sales, and other businesses within the group. The suite includes fx-booking, pricing and trader tools, and supports FX spot, forward, options and swaps. The services are implemented in C# and Java while front-ends are mostly written in C#. My team looks after booking, stp and positions.
I am the only developer working both on GUI side as well as server side in my team. I have worked on projects involving low latency C#, post trade confirmations, stp fix publishers and user interfaces based on React (Javascript) and WPF. My first project was to create an intellisense based query front end for our coherence cache. This used ANTLR4 grammar OQL type syntax. My next task was to create an event driven alerting engine along with the configuration user interface. Currently, I am maintaining and enhancing our STP notification and Fix publisher engines.

C# & WPF Developer
BlueBay Asset Management.
Technologies: C#, Angular, WPF, WCF, DevExpress, MvvM, Rx, Service Bus 1.1, OO Design Patterns, concurrency / multithreading, nUnit, Moq, SQL Server, TDD, Scrum (Agile).
Core Duties:-
● Application development.
● Refine user stories, convert them to backlog items, and talk to front office to negotiate on requirements or provide alternative solution to keep proper check on code complexity.
● Produce & contribute to technical and functional specifications and provide accurate work estimates.
● Undertake peer reviews.
● Make best use of existing code & avoid bespoke code creation.
● Adhere to technical best practice and company standards and guarantee optimal performance.
● Undertake unit testing and integration testing to ensure a quality build deliverable.
● Ensuring successful delivery and conclusion of all programming activities to meet the technical design.
Started working as a WPF Developer for a Greenfield project called 'Pi' in July, 2015. Pi is a WPF application which allows building custom dashboards to see and analyze Portfolio data (hence the name Pi = Portfolio Insight). It uses several data warehouses maintained by various other teams. Users can create their own rulesets and custom dashboards and get them approved by data team for others to use. Dashboards can have multiple sub queries with data and graphical elements like grids, pivots, charts, key performance (KPI) indicators etc. All dashboards and rulesets are controlled and governed by data team. First phase took approximately a year to complete. That included training portfolio managers on Pi which also helped refining the product.
Then I moved on to second phase of the project which introduced real time data aggregated with historical warehouse data to present real time picture of the portfolio. We built a set of Micro-Services to gather trades from Charles River which is our main trade capture system. This is then processed by 'PositionBuilder' and finally goes to Pi. Concept trades can also be generated from within Pi which can later be promoted after analysis. This enabled portfolio analysis at various states of the trade - from initial Idea to execution completion and final PnL.
Currently working on the final phase which is Portfolio Rebalancing which allows to generate trades based on various targets for the entire portfolio. It allows to do an idea based what-if analysis before actually executing trades. These can then be directly sent to Charles River for execution.

WPF Developer
Barclays Capital.
Technologies: C#, LINQ, WPF, MvvM, Prism, Rx, Unity, Spring, distributed messaging, RabbitMQ, OO Design Patterns, concurrency / multithreading, nUnit, RhinoMock, Oracle, SQL Server, TDD, Scrum (Agile).
The work was to build a system called 'Trade Manager' alongside another developer. Prior to this system, trade support functions were distributed amongst various FO/MO systems and there was no single system to have the complete visibility of the flow. The system also provided functionality for automated charge calculation (fee, commissions etc.) based on execution route, Price tolerance checks using market data service, trade matching using Omego services, trade confirmations and booking them into F&A Accounting system.
The backbone of the system was Rabbit MQ based messaging middleware and various monitoring modules were built using WPF. Prism framework with Spring DI was used to introduce modularity. DevExpress controls were used for rapid development.

UnitedHealth Group.

Won "Spot Excellence Award" in the year 2009 for high level of commitment and excellent work in Microsoft.Net Windows Workflow Foundation technology (WWF).
Built a rich WPF windows client which consumed by these Global Hub services (described below) and also performed many custom tasks and was intended to be used by Hygeia Corporation, Toronto. This client was integrated with their Claims Management System. MVVM formed the basis of the client's architecture.
Global hub was designed and developed by my team where I completed some crucial portions of the entire system. It was an ambitious project of UnitedHealth Group targeting the global client base for its health products. There are number of differences in laws and healthcare practices across various countries for example different medical coding conventions, language, currency etc. Global hub is targeted to provide a single platform for getting health care products to people from any country. A complex workflow engine which was the backbone of the project was created from scratch by me. We used Windows Workflow 3.5 (WWF) for the development. This was the major part of the application and was solely developed by me.
