Work Experience

Sapient, July 2012 To Present

Senior Associate Platform Level 2 - ANZ

Developing Trade Surveillance System(TSS) to encompass process and technology

that detect trading rule violations in both pre and post-trade system. TSS is

built out along the three dimensions of data, detection, and disposition. TSS

incorporates data analytics, data management, and the use of statistical

modeling to build and optimize scorecards, rules, and similar fraud systems. TSS

seeks to eliminate breaches of policies and internal controls by creating a

system that allows for proactive analysis of data, consistent escalation paths,

and streamlined disposition systems.

ANZ have become increasingly aggressive in mitigating trading activities that

undermine confidence. As a result, new expectations by ANZ for proactive trade

surveillance has gained increased attention especially as ANZ seek to eliminate

breaches of internal controls and policies that lead to unlawful trading

activities. Given the increased regulatory focus from recent market events, a

forward-thinking strategy with an emphasis on preventative modeling has been

developed which focus on providing transparency, efficiency, and oversight in

ANZ trading.

The main focus of TSS is to prevent market abuse and market manipulation, which

can severely damage a ANZ's reputation. Since the financial crisis, one of the

many efforts by regulators to improve market transparency and investor

confidence has been to improve trade surveillance. We have developed TSS to

perform trade surveillance by monitoring the trading activities of employees in

order to identify potential violations such as insider or speculative trading.

Most trade surveillance efforts have focused on post-trade surveillance methods

and pre-trade surveillance methods such as behavioral analysis and pattern

recognition to identify potential violations before they occur. Pre-trade

surveillance programs are employed to validate trade instructions, ensure

trading thresholds are not breached, and prevent trades being conducted on

restricted instruments. Post-trade surveillance can monitor for front-running,

suitability, best-execution and regulatory transaction reporting. TSS

capabilities focus on both pre and post-trade surveillance through the

streamlining of internal business processes and the deployment of control points

and actions to implement, such as:

Robust reporting structure that generates standardized reports for applicable

regulatory requirements.

Effective workflow management through a dashboard that provides customizable

summary graphs and reports that represent the surveillance activities.

System enhancements that will provide access of full historical trading data for

all listed instruments. The enhancements can provide transparency in to the

entire process of trading surveillance.

Extensive business rules engine that can detect and capture market manipulation

and rogue trading activities.

Alert thresholds adjustments designed to minimize the number of false positives.

TSS is scalable in addressing the following:

Customizing surveillance tools.

Addressing global emerging regulatory reforms.

Performing forensic analysis to identify high risk areas and test what-if

scenarios.

Reviewing alerts regarding instances of market abuse or manipulation.

Determining data required and the appropriate format. This can provide

consistency and minimizes costs. Data assessment can be done for both pre and

post-trade surveillance.

While working on this project, I was responsible for:

Understanding the ANZ Trading products and processes and in recognizing

deficiencies or improvement opportunities.

Developing the program by understanding the priorities of these modules and by

ensuring that the program meets the needs of the business

Providing status updates on the progress of the program.

Developing best practice methodologies and approaches to business problems.

Participating and leading cross-regional conference calls.

Senior Associate Platform Level 2 - Northern Trust

Developing Compliance Management and Reporting System (CMRS) on Cloud to

facilitate portfolio reconciliation to our Client. CMRS allows firms to collate

vast amounts of data from disparate systems, apply reporting eligibility logic,

translate it into the destination message format, and deliver it directly to

Swap Data Repositories (SDRs) such as The Depository Trust & Clearing

Corporation (DTCC). In accordance with Dodd-Frank and EMIR requirements,

portfolio reconciliation is a critical tool for managing risk. We have met

client demand with new functionality that allows firms to leverage CMRS in order

to alert users to changes in given portfolios by comparing descriptions of the

portfolio content provided by each participant.

CMRS establishes a common enterprise platform to manage and publish reporting

requirements to various regulatory agencies. It enables customers to configure

reporting rules, manage varied data sources, apply filtering, exception and

aggregation rules and configure destination reports in the required format. It

also allows clients to trace and track data being reported throughout the

compliance reporting lifecycle, providing much needed visibility into compliance

positions at any point in time.

Trade reporting for swaps is proving to be a challenge with multiple SDRs and

confusion over who should assume responsibility for reporting a trade, Solutions

that help reduce report complexity will be welcomed by an industry grappling

with multiple new compliance pressures. Dodd-Frank and EMIR rules require swap

dealers and major swap participants to adhere to certain standards for the

timely and accurate confirmation of swap transactions and for the reconciliation

and compression of swap portfolios. Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and

portfolio compression have been recognized as important post-trade processing

mechanisms for mitigating risk and improving operational efficiency.

The additional functionality of portfolio reconciliation is a natural extension

of the CMRS platform and is essential given heightened global regulatory

pressures and a more complex market model where some derivatives trades will be

centrally cleared while others remain bilaterally traded, CMRS enables our

clients to further centralize their external communications and compliance

efforts to achieve a single view of their compliance status combined with a

streamlined method for identifying trades to be reported and translating data

from multiple sources into the format required by each of the different

regulators.

While working on this project, I was responsible for:

Understanding the Regulatory products and processes and in recognizing

deficiencies or improvement opportunities.

ensuring that the program meets the needs of the business
