PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Software Consultant, DCI Mar 2015 - present

Software Consultant, Objective Concepts Corp Apr 2008 - May 2013 & Jun 2016 - present

Senior Software Engineer, Objective Concepts Corp Jun 2013 - Dec 2014

Supported and enhanced Objective Concepts' MarketTest product, which enables functional testing of electronic market exchanges and broker trading systems. This is a distributed system. The back-end design features an encapsulated market simulator framework that provides accurate simulation of common market feeds and interfaces (140+ feeds supported). Simulators are controlled by a central test coordinator and a GUI, which accurately simulates functional regression and stress market scenarios. This system utilizes C++ and sql.

Assisted NYSE in the creation of the Exchange Data Protocol (XDP) Options.

Discovered and identified numerous customers’ bugs using only MarketTest’s logs and the protocol messages sent to MarketTest by the client’s software. Some bugs were so intricate they sometimes defied the customer’s comprehension, even after I identified the nature of the problem.

Knowledge of, and experience simulating, numerous financial protocols (e.g. CQS/CTS, XDP, UTPQ/UTPT, PINK FIX, UTP). This includes protocols using Base 95 numbering system.

Handled client relationships while collecting requirements. When a feed was used by multiple groups, I would handle the groups’ opposing needs. One of my biggest assets in handling the groups was my understanding the actual needs of each group, which sometimes differed from what the clients requested.

Mentored developers new to the company.

Created custom programs for the client which would be used to interact with MarketTest.

Enhanced MarketTest to interact with trading platforms using MQ Websphere.

Upgraded the system to latest compilers. This included rewriting parts of the system which contained deprecated methods.

Environment: C++, sql, MQ Websphere, Roguewave, QT, perl, MS Visual Studio
