During my time at Razor I worked on a number of Agile development projects, including:

• Web Development

Development of a C# Web API utilizing OAuth 2 Identity server and OpenID.

Web UI development in Angular, Bootstrap and SignalR.

• NetOTC

Architecture for a system to handle OTC risk and collateral in a new way. This gave me an in-depth knowledge of the regulatory requirements for OTC risk and collateral in both the US and EU since NetOTC worked extensively with regulators (CFTC, Bank of England), banks and trade organizations (FIA and ISDA).

• Massively parallel API Portal

C# development of a real-time, massively parallel system for API request compression.

IDCG was a central clearing house for Interest Rate Swap contracts and other fixed income derivatives. It was partly owned by NASDAQ OMX and sold to LCH in 2012.

This was one of my most interesting positions since it was in the middle of the financial crisis and during the development of Dodd-Frank. At IDCG we participated in this through Federal register reviews, meetings and hearings.

Major projects

• Trade gateway to MarkitSERV and Bloomberg VCON.

Real time system for accepting trades from Markit and VCON.

• Market Data System to integrate prices from Bloomberg, Reuters, ICAP, Tullet and IDCG.

Market data cleansing and weighting system for real-time interest rate yield curve generation.

• Integration and installation of a SWIFT Alliance system.

Research and development of the next generation of OMX trading platform. My part of the research focused on a state-of-the-art enterprise service bus (ESB) that provides multiple-site hot-failover and unprecedented transaction throughput. The research produced a number of US Patents and pending patent submissions.

Redesign and optimization of the OMX OMnet system and support of customers throughout the world,

Including HKEX, SGX, ASX, AMEX and other major exchanges and clearing houses.

During my time as the Chief Architect we revitalized the OMnet trading network layer with a new reliable multicast system, a new network gateway as well as improvements in the stability, performance and security of the OMX network services. OMnet is part of the NASDAQ OMX Genium INET trading platform.
