The company uses dozens of proprietary and commercial software products and services. I've been integrating many of them, as well as creating new systems and extending older ones. Specific responsibilities include gathering requirements from business users, design, implementation, testing and deployment.

• Security Master: The original "Broadridge Security Master" was critical for downstream databases and systems, including trading software (Eze, then Charles River). I led the design effort for the new, proprietary Security Master and actively worked on its implementation. The successful replacement of the Broadridge product with a more flexible and more reliable custom solution saved a substantial amount of money in annual subscription fees.
• CNS Risk: The company's proprietary risk management system was fully rewritten in C# in 2020. I worked on the Fixed Income module and, after its production release, became the primary developer responsible for its maintenance and further extensions. My contributions included modifications related to pricing/volatility of listed and OTC options, ESG reporting, commodity futures, interest rate swaps, stress testing, and active collateral management.
• MSCI Barra Downloader: To augment proprietary risk analysis, quants use MSCI Barra Portfolio Manager (BPM). To transition from manual interactions with the BPM UI to an automated reporting tool, I designed and implemented a solution that queries the BPM API, extracts the data, and saves it to MSSQL database tables. The tool is highly efficient, allowing the acquisition of 70-80 reports per minute (~4800 reports daily within 60-90 minutes). It also features detection of missing/failed daily downloads and re-querying capability, as well as API-based portfolio/benchmark/analysis settings reconfiguration.
• Bloomberg Data License downloader: for periodic refresh of market data, including restricted securities via Terminal linking
• DB Executor: for keeping DEV and UAT environments in a consistent state after regular refreshes from PROD databases
• Visual Studio solution template for microservices: for rapid creation of new C# .NET Core microservices with built-in conventions and common features, allowing developers to completely avoid boilerplate code, concentrating on business logic.
• Other: Assisting quants in making their experimental R code production-ready, deploying and troubleshooting it. Collaborating with DBA on optimizing the performance of stored procedures. Providing operational support to analysts and investment administrators utilizing above mentioned internal systems, as well as some other proprietary applications.
