As Head of Strategic Development group, I manage a team of talented and passionate developers. Our team is in charge of all middle office and some back-office applications. Our team also is in charge of building out the central messaging solution to be used by other Firm systems; also, we are taking the lead role in building out the cloud solution (presently on AWS only; would be multi-region multi-cloud in future) and providing interfaces to other Firm applications to use.

Presently the following services/applications fall under the purview of Strategic Development

In my current role, I work very closely with the Head-of-Technology/CTO. We have tagged AWS as the go-forward solution to onboard the Firm to cloud infrastructure. I am working very closely with the Data Center Operations team to work out the technology details regarding networking, security, failover and redundancy. Also, the Strategic Development team has built a number of POCs to help pick a number of existing applications to be marked for migration to the cloud.

Schonfeld Tools LLC (Senior Software Architect)

New York, NY Apr ’16 to Sep ‘16

Schonfeld Tools LLC was a family office managing ~$2.5bn. In January 2016, it received RIA (Registered Investment Advisor) certification and became a multi-strategy multi-manager hedge fund. Schonfeld Tools LLC is the technology arm of Schonfeld Strategic Advisors (SSA), which has steadily acquired investors since receiving the RIA certification and has experienced a steady growth in assets under management.

I joined a group of talented developers to lead the development of new generation applications to address the necessary enhancements, and in many cases re-architecture, of middle office applications. I suggested some new approaches and provided POC for those; top management was very receptive of these new ideas and I was charged with managing all middle-office applications and Strategic Developments since September 2016.
