EXPERIENCE
Fannie Mae, Herndon, VA
Aug 2009 - Dec 2009
QA Analyst II
1. Treasury e-commerce project - Issuance Window (Debt Transaction
Application)
The Debt Transaction Application (DTA) is an Internet based platform used
to facilitate trades between Fannie Mae and Short Term Discount Note
Dealers used to fund Fannie Mae activities. DTA provides real time pricing
information through the integration with ValuationNet (VN) and DTA HUB,
enabling the desk to offer investors a range of short term discount notes.
DTA encompasses the fat client application used by dealers to view Fannie
Mae's Debt offerings and to execute trades; the fat client used by the
Short Term Debt trading desk for pricing and trade execution and Capital
Market Middle Office (CMMO) for trade confirmation; the communication
between the dealers and Fannie Mae; as well as messaging to the DTA Hub
which in turn distributes messages to downstream systems.
Fannie Mae contracted Prescient Markets, Inc. (SunGard's predecessor), to
develop, design, implement and host the DTA system according to Fannie Mae
business process and functional and system requirements. As part of this
project, Fannie Mae decided to pursue licensing the DTA source code and
hosting the DTA application in house.
