Also, reclaimed resources and removed chargebacks by decommissioning obsolete servers. o Improved service delivery following 911 disaster by renormalizing processing through use of EMC technology to automate backups, optimize EOD procedures, and protect files from corruption. o Enabled data center team to react promptly to interface shutdown events by shell-scripting log file parser to interactively show interface’ status.

o Sped up 3-fold the capture of production databases by parallelizing copies using FTP protocol. o Improved front office’s ability to do analytics on derivative products by developing an extract showing option “Greeks” in format agreed upon through requirements gathered from traders. o Improved batch processing performance by 30% by reintroducing purge functionality to stabilize database size and reign in growth.

o Increased trade throughput by automating restart logic and monitoring for Reuters/EBS-(TOF) interfaces thereby reducing market risk for traders needing immediate updates of their currency positions. o Streamlined application id creation process by adding administrator’s menu option to provide unique three-character initials that formed the basis of application id. o Enhanced application operability by simplifying scripts and reworking disk replication commands using updated syntax provided by a new CLI (Command Language Interpreter). o Created seamless experience for users and optimized technology for data center and technical areas by successfully transitioning application from HpOpenVMS/RMS to Linux/Oracle (Bash). o Attained greater efficiency by introducing new (EMC) SAN technology including Fibre-channel after careful evaluation proved it to be reliable and progressive technology. o Drove efficiency and compliance with organizational policies by replacing manual process with new automated subsystem that deleted applications ids based on daily feed of terminations from human resources.
