Fleet Securities Inc.

Consultant

Developed a Unix-based IPO system for the firm's online trading system, using C++, Java, Corba and Perl scripts to interface with the firm’s Oracle and Sybase databases.

Interacted directly with the firm’s clients to determine their requirements and later clarified functional specifications, design issues, timelines, and deliverable dates.

Wrote design and implementation documents and functional specifications and implemented client requirements for the IPO system. As part of the development team, also provided general production support and maintenance to the firm's back office and online trading system.

Organized the source code in an appropriate hierarchy using CVS as the source control system.

Managed and verified code rollouts.

Debugged and provided maintenance for failed online programs. Generated reports by using Perl scripts and Oracle/Sybase queries. Wrote Oracle/Sybase queries which were used by the archiving system to prune the production Oracle/Sybase databases.

Updated the Oracle/Sybase databases with new branch codes as new clients were acquired.
