Professional Experience
State Street Corp, Boston - Derivatives Performance Tuning
Jun 2008 - Dec 2009
I am part of a three member team involved in performance optimization of a
Straight through processing architecture and specifically cost engine
process for futures and options in terms of increased trading business. The
old costing engine had a piped architecture where different components
interact through Queues. The project was to make this a multi-threaded
architecture with cache cleanup mechanism to avoid crashes. In addition a
Volume Testing environment was created to do stress testing and to measure
the performance gains of the systems due to various changes. A performance
improvement of over 100% was achieved by increasing overall trade
processing throughput.
Involved in brain storming sessions to discuss the various reasons why the
costing engine is performing slow, ways to improve each bottleneck issue,
devise testing strategies for quantify the performance improvements.
Involved in designing a new multi-threaded architecture, defended the
design in front of tech leads, reviewing business requirement document,
writing HLD, DLD and UT documents.
Involved in developing Cache management and cleanup for faster processing
of trades.
Developed message parser for SWIFT messages.
Implemented the above design using C++, POSIX threads, Sybase 12.5 on IBM
AIX 5.1 and AIX 5.3 operating systems.
Extensively used Rogue Wave library for linked lists, hash dictionaries,
etc.
Designed and developed Stored Procedures in Sybase 12.5 for archiving
historical data from live tables which was adding to the slowness of
costing engine. Applied extensive SQL Tuning to improve database
performance.
Designed and developed automated volume testing process by creating Stored
Procedures to refresh and cleanup data, UNIX shell scripts to start and
stop the system, program to collect statistics.
Used C++/Unix profiling and debugging tools like rational purify, ibm
debugger, gprof for performance analysis.
Currently working on a project which involves using Pentaho Kettle
Reporting tool.
Participated in System and BAU testing with business analysts.
Environment: C, C++, AIX 5.3, Sybase ASE 12.5, Sybase Workspace 2.0.
Rational Clearcase.
Verizon Data Services, Tampa - BAAIS East Provisioning Sep
2007 - Jun 2008
I was part of BAAIS east provisioning team, which was responsible for
backend broadband assignment, activation and inventory service system in
Real time. The provisioning system was responsible to assign and activate
the complete network path from service provider to the end customer for DSL
based local telephone network. It has a front-end GUI using
HTML/XSL/XML/J2EE. It uses CEM/SM (Verizon proprietary) as IPC driving
engine. It has multi layered back-end servers using C/C++/Java/CORBA/Shell
scripts. The data is exchanged in the form XML's and CEM messages. Informix
is used as the database.
Involved in design discussions, reviewing business requirement document,
writing HLD, DLD and UT documents using UML like use case diagrams, class
diagram, sequence diagrams and collaboration diagrams.
Designed and implemented enhancements to the BAAIS East suite in response
to new initiatives or change requests raised by the Verizon Business which
solved critical performance and optimization issues.
Worked as a technical support developer for the BAAIS east provisioning and
technically assist and solve issues raised in the production environment,
by drilling down upon the problem areas using logs, finding causes and
providing immediate fixes or reason for failures.
Was part of the project which incorporated network rearrangement changes
related to new equipment manufactured by ADTRAN. This equipment could work
as a Dslam and Switch and thereby resulting in considerable monetary
savings.
Used Factory Method design pattern to implement generation of activation
xml's used to activate different types of network elements for a particular
telephone DSL landline connection.
Responsible for enhancement of telephone service Suspend/Restore facility.
Provided a backend support in C++ and Informix for a GUI interface used for
order processing, inventory management, network setup, equipment
installation and problem resolutions.
Responsible for analysis of the log messages and providing patches for bug
fixing.
Environment: C, C++, UNIX, Solaris 2.8, IBM Informix 10.0, Clear Case.
