EXPERIENCE:

State Street Coorporation (SSC) 2006 – Current

Various projects at State Street Coorporation during 2006 – current

2016 – Current - Software Consulting Network (SCN) – Contractor for SSC.

2012 – 2015 - Project Lead

2006 – 2012 - Mainframe Developer

Agile/Scrum environment (CNAV; GL Alerts and Trial Teams).

- Developed one of the most widely used code at SSC (EHS0565). Used in CICS applications as well as in batch processes. The module is used in a number of banks applications such as: NAV Alerts, CapStocks, Trade evaluations, GL Alerts, Dynamic Trials, and many others.

- Capital Stocks (Capstock). Replacement of Mainframe CICS CASH, Shares, Estimates, Dividends and Reversals transactions with WEB driven request. – lead developer.

- General Ledger (GL) Alerts (Fund and Class level) – lead developer in technical design for deadline processing;

- Relational GL application.

- eHorizon Trials and Pricing systems enhancements and new development;

Software: Traditional CICS transactions, CICS asyncs; MQ, DB2, DB2 Stored Procedures, PL/1; Cobol: RDZ.

Worked for Capstock Group in Multi-Currency Horizon (MCH) division.

●MCH – Fixed Income Group(IT): design and development (from scratch) of a high-

visibility Hierarchical Funds Pricing (HFP) software. The goal of the project is to develop a software that will allow to price (open trades, realized/unrealized gain-loss, appraisals, etc.) hundreds of funds in a limited time-frame window. A request for funds to be priced is initiated on a client server (Unix) and pushed down to mainframe (CICS) either via CTG (CICS Transactions Gateway) or via MQ. After analyzing requests a CICS transaction spawn batch jobs using CICS Spooling facility.

Worked closely with IBM CICS support team to satisfy the requirement of highest possible

performance; made a number of presentations for different technical and business groups.

Software that consists of a close to a hundred of different types of elements is deployed in multi-

Regions CICS environment. Cycles of unit and system tests with SQA. Provided programming

and supporting documentation.

(PL/1, COBOL, Assembler, CICS, MQ, Datacom, DB2 and DB2-tools System

monitors).

●For Capstock – provide prod support on a scheduled bases, new application clients
