EXPERIENCE

Fannie Mae, Herndon, VA

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.
