Our project team of three people started a web-application that allows company's client
to do a pre-trading analysis of a
single stock, based on live and historical data retrieved from real time market data
feeds, market data database records
and quantitative analysis applications. This web-application is a component of a more
broad concept of a web-portal,
developed for prime institutional clients developed by Electronic Trading Technology
department of Mizuho Securities
Co. Ltd.
My role as a team member was to assess technologies that would be most suitable for this
project, develop prototypes
using Flex, Portal API (JBoss Portal, Liferay Portal), mix of HTML, Flex/Flash (for
charting) and AJAX (YUI, jQuery,
DWR), and GWT.
The project was started from scratch and finished in 6 months mostly due to good team of
developers, common
understanding of development process and good choice of tools and methods.
This project required deep understanding of market data, quantitative methods of finance,
knowledge of statistics as well
as close interaction with Electronic Trading department, bank's infrastructure team and
other vendors that take part in
this project.

I took part in an internal product development - a Search Engine coupled with a composite
database sources (including
OFAC-SDN) to detect and identify anti-social forces associated with Anti-Money Laundering
activities. I designed and
developed a JavaEE component for this product. This component allows to search up to 1
mil. names in the database
simultaneously. JMS technology was used to create multiple parallel searches and to
persist results in the database for
later review by the user.
Database stores information from newspaper articles that are analyzed by a special
Natural Language Parser. Names of
criminals found in this articles are processed by special rules (JBoss Drools rule
engine). Currently product is able to
analyze texts in Japanese and Chinese with more languages to be added: Korean, English,
Russian and Spanish etc.

As a member of international multinational transcontinental team of 10 people I take part
in development, programming,
user interface designing of internal HR Java/J2EE Web-application. This system is an
application written from scratch
as a substitution of a third-party vendor's product.
I joined the project at it's early stage and contributed my knowledge of JBoss, EJB, JPA
and web-applications design to
the project. Development process requires extensive knowledge of Java Collections
framework, EJB, JBoss, database,
unit testing and extensive interaction with business analysts and future users of the
system from HR department.
It will be used by HR staff to calculate benefits data of 1.500 employees of GS Japan
(commutation, retirement, rent)
and generate reports for other institutions. For GS it will be a more flexible, more
powerful, more precise, thoroughly
tested and robust substitution of a legacy vendor product with excellent prospects to
expand its coverage to GS China.

Roles: Web-developer, Web-master
Experience: Apache, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, XML, PHP, PHP-Pear, Perl, MySQL database
Development, programming, designing and maintaining the web-applications for Trust-Watch
daily network security
scanning service: www.trust-watch.jp. I was responsible to take over the process of
creating a web-interface for SIDC
staff to accept new customers, manage security scans, review reports and deliver them to
customers through www.trust-
watch.jp web-site.
This task required close interaction with security scanner developers and sales
department of SIDC and working in team
with them to deliver the service on schedule.
I designed and developed two parts of the web-application using PHP, MySQL, XML, HTML/CSS
and JavaScript
technologies. I was managing a small team of developers (1 web-designer and 1 PHP
programmer). I developed SOAP
web-service to interact with external partner who was adding new customers to Trust-Watch
web-site remotely. This
task was an unexpected requirement from management and sales team, and I m proud we
quickly found the solution for
this project and this new requirement didn t break our development schedule.
Interaction between Trust-Watch front-end (web-application written in PHP) and Trust-
Watch backend (network
scanners written in C/C++) was based on XML-RPC code. I was responsible to design the
protocol and implement it
into the code. This allowed us to decouple the whole system and make it more flexible,
extensible and reliable.
This Trust-Watch application now allows SIDC to accept more customers for network
security auditing and to increase
its market share of security services in Japan. Customers include banks,
telecommunication companies, media
companies and numerous IT companies.

My primary task was intranet web-site for Merrill Lynch Japan (Worldnet Japan project). I
joined the project at early
stage and I was responsible for total design of the Worldnet Japan intranet web-site from
scratch: coding, web-design,
maintenance, training, documentation. The whole application was built using ASP (IIS /
Windows platform), Oracle and
Access was used to store content.
This task required close interaction with many departments of ML Japan:
Public Relations department was using intranet web-site to deliver news and articles
(special web-application
(Java/Tomcat/Oracle) was designed that would allow PR staff to publish news on the web-
site) .
Human Resources department was using intranet web-site to publish announcements about
courses and classes
Administration office was using web-site to publish day-to-day information for ML staff
IT department provided technical support to build the whole three-stage development-to-
production
environment: development servers, staging servers and production servers
Contingency Department asked for development of a separate web-site to provide their
contingency
information across all ML Japan offices.
All ML departments had some kind of presentation of what they are doing on the web-site
I also contacted web-masters of ML Australia and Canada and we created a global search
index (using MS Indexing
server) of ML intranet web-sites. This allowed ML staff to search information globally
from one place. Basically,
Worldnet Japan within 1 year became the first web-site everybody at ML Japan (Tokyo,
Osaka) was opening at the
beginning of their work day.
As a part of Core technologies team I was responsible for introduction of new
technologies to ML Japan. I was
responsible for integrating Xpedio/Stellent Content management system into ML intranet
web-site to automate content
publishing process. This would allow content producers to create content, publish it and
approve it according to
predefined workflow process. My skills in Xpedio/Stellent were used in Analytical
department to create distribution
system of analytical reports produced by ML analysts.
My web-development knowledge and good teaching skills were used by Human Resources
department to teach HTML
and basic web-development to ML Japan staff (approx. 150 people).
